Hello, since a longer time (i.e. since Oct 2004) we apply a patch to do a locale rename: -------------------------------------------------------------------- --- po/Makefile.in.orig 2005-07-15 22:50:41.000000000 +0200 +++ po/Makefile.in 2005-08-08 15:25:50.000000000 +0200 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # # See po/README for documentation. -ALL_LINGUAS = bg cs da de es fi fr it nl no pl pt ru sv +ALL_LINGUAS = bg cs da de es fi fr it nl nb pl pt ru sv SRC_FILES = ../include/sane/saneopts.h ../backend/artec_eplus48u.c \ ../backend/avision.h \ -------------------------------------------------------------------- and directly after the patch is applied we do in the RPM spec file "mv po/sane-backends.no.po po/sane-backends.nb.po"
The reason is that we don't have a /usr/share/locale/no/ directory but we have /usr/share/locale/nb/ so that the Norwegian translation stuff is stored as /usr/share/locale/nb/LC_MESSAGES/sane-backends.mo I don't know the details behind but I found (via Google) the following text from a Norwegian person: -------------------------------------------------------------------- The correct locale for Norwegian Bokmal (the primary language in Norway) is nb_NO. It used to be no_NO. But as we have another version of our language they have been separated to nb_NO and nn_NO. -------------------------------------------------------------------- (FYI: nn_NO is Norwegian Nynorsk) I don't know if it make sense for you to use also nb by default. But I like to have you informed so that you know what we did.
