I assume you'll be building a custom OS image, no?

Re: en_GB in OLPC OS 12.1.0

On behalf of the kids that I test with ...

I'd prefer that we not include en_AU at all if we can't also include
en_GB, but I don't know if we have the ability to configure fallbacks
in Sugar.  If we can't configure fallbacks, we should exclude en_AU
and languages for which a specified fallback is necessary.

Yes, which admittedly makes this discussion redundant for those who
use our builds.

I am only really asking because you have gone to the trouble (thanks!)
of including en_AU, which in its current state is only useful if
there's an en_GB fallback. This actually makes sense, since en_AU and
en_GB are probably 99% identical.

Sugar allegedly supports fallbacks, but they are not working properly
for us right now:

https://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/999

Our fallback for now is to use en_GB as the primary language.

There doesn't seem to have been an upstream ticket filed, so I doubt
anyone upstream has looked into it. If I am properly parsing the
thread, it seems that the fallback is broken when there are multiple
fallbacks: the intermediate language is not picked up?

Ok, so there's a bug or error in there somewhere. Sounds worth
pursuing but perhaps not high pri -- we do have some burning topics at
this time.

Can you file it in dev.laptop.org, with a bit more fleshing out?

I assume fallback works correctly when en_GB is there, have you tested
this recently?

thanks!

en_GB in OLPC OS 12.1.0

2012-05-23 Thread Sridhar Dhanapalan
OLPC OS 12.1.0 is looking good! I noticed that en_US and en_AU are
available. We have our language fallbacks set to en_AU;en_GB;en_US to
overcome the lack of strings in en_AU. Would it be possible to have
en_GB included by default as well?

Thanks,
