Thanks Martin and Arne for your valuable feedback! I agree that also
/usr/share/locale should be taken into consideration, so I modified the
l-s branch accordingly and wrote a new Perl script (lang-list2.pl).
There is also GDM, and since I don't know C, I'm not able to make the
equivalent changes

My first reaction to that was but what if I actually want the Swiss

or Austrian specific German translations. But on second

What about /usr/share/locale/ ?
Good point, thanks, I missed that. I think we should offer
- all languages/locales from /usr/share/langpack-locale/
plus
- the intersection of /usr/share/locale/ and `locale -a`
Gunnar, how does that sound to you?

Hi David,
The idea is about _refraining_ from showing all the locales, both in GDM
and in language-selector's Language tab. (The tab in language-selector
for other locale settings is the place for showing all the locales.) At
the same time, the variants should be added to the GDM options as per

Hi Gunnar,
I understand the rationale, but I'm not sure I understand your proposal
for a fix. Could you please elaborate?
- If this is about showing all locales including variants in gdm, it should be
a duplicate of bug 408474
- If this is about showing them in language-selector, IIRC, it
25 matches
