Important news. Although existing language tag values do not need to change, there are some new possibilities available.
The [110]Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has published two new specifications for language tags. [111]RFC 4646: Tags for the Identification of Languages replaces RFC 3066 and, with the new [112]IANA Language Subtag Registry, extends language tag syntax to address a number of long-standing issues. The separate [113]RFC 4647: Matching of Language Tags addresses how to match the new tags. The W3C I18n GEO Working Group provides a gentle introduction to the new syntax at http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ [110] http://www.ietf.org/ [111] http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4646.txt [112] http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry [113] http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4647.txt Hope that helps, RI ============ Richard Ishida Internationalization Lead W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) http://www.w3.org/People/Ishida/ http://www.w3.org/International/ http://people.w3.org/rishida/blog/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishida/ ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
