Title:
locale-langpack/ includes useless Shavian (en@shaw) files
Status in ubuntu-touch-meta package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
1. adb shell
2. ls /usr/share/locale-langpack/
What you see: The directory listing includes "en@shaw".
This is the Shavian alphabet, an alternative alphabet for writing
English. There is no point in including it on the phone:
- The number of people in the world who can read English in the
Shavian alphabet, but not in the Latin alphabet, is probably less than
10.
- There is no performance, testbed, or regulatory reason (that I know
of) to provide it.
- For those reasons, it is not selectable anywhere in the UI.
- Even if it was, the only translated file included is
LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo, which nobody would see anyway, since Ubuntu
Touch has no ATK function at the moment.
- Its translation coverage is unlikely to improve, since Launchpad
does not allow translation into Shavian, and the Ubuntu Shavian team
has not been active for five years. <https://lists.launchpad.net

This is not a disk space problem (it's only 24 KB), merely a time
problem. Every so often someone will look at /usr/share/locale-
langpack/, wonder what on earth en@shaw is, and waste the next few
minutes looking it up until they find this bug report.
