Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Spellchecking language names showing up as ISO code

[Michael Bauer]

Hi Eike

I copy-pasted that fromhttps://www.ethnologue.com/language/ktz
I'll use U+01C0
Thanks. Yeah, Ethnologue... it's neat (to have), but not tidy, probably 
the best way I can put it. They have (or at least had) rather opaque 
processes, pulling data from I-don't-know-where and once it's there, 
reviewing it seems to be almost impossible. I was one of many trying in 
vain to get an error fixed years ago (they had listed a province name as 
a dialect of Basque) and nothing since has convinced me they're too 
worried about the fine detail or fixing stuff, no matter how good your 
credentials or the references you provide.



Wait, now you wrote it with a straight ' apostrophe instead of ’ U+2019
... ;-)
Using Juǀ’hoan instead.

My bad, too many keyboard layouts in use :)

Many thanks!

Michael

Hi Eike

Sorry for the late reply, yesterday turned a bit crazy.

Right so both technically are wrong, Ju|'hoan means person and -si is a 
plural ending, the language is called Juǀ'hoan(si) kokxui "language of 
the people" in full but when referring to in English, native speakers 
prefer just the label Juǀ'hoan and this is indeed what the Literacy 
Project has been using as their preferred English term for the language. 
I think it would be good sticking with that, seeing they will be the 
primary users.


Also, could you change the pipe character to ǀ (U+01C0)? They look 
similar on screen but it's the wrong character.


Other than that, many many thanks for your help!

Michael

Display names need to be added to the language list. There's no
mechanism yet to pull names dynamically from "somewhere". I guess we
could do that by means of ICU, which provides display names for locales.

I can add Juǀ’hoan [ktz-NA] (https://www.ethnologue.com/language/ktz btw
lists it as Ju|’hoansi and https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/ktz gives
several names, with Juǀ'hoansi as latest addition) and Naro [nhr-BW]
