I think iso-codes should have ISO registered items only. Adding codes for our own use will lead to maintenance difficulties. If extra languages are needed, it could be handled by the language selection program. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which

It's about the Japanese term 朝鮮語 which is widely used for Korean in general, not for North or South one. It may be a big issue because wikipedia page is locked and wait discussion about name http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%9D%E9%AE%AE%E8%AA%9E It said that academia use 朝鮮語 by historical

An interim resolution is, kr to call 韓国・朝鮮語, ko_kr to call 韓国語 and kp_kr to call 朝鮮語 for political neutrality. I'm not sure whether we should split kr to ko_kr and kp_kr. BTW, I wanna use ko_kr and kp_kr as a language code argument of my library project, Unihandecode , because each country have

But again, this is Japanese translation. What matters? Do you plan to report the same thing against the Chinese translation? I have no idea which is more familiar in Japan but I'm sure 朝鮮語 is dominant over 韓囯語 in China. In Korean/Chinese, United Kingdoms is 영국(英國)/英国, which was from the

Please. I'm not discussing with you about whether this translation term is politically correct or not. And I'm not discussing about the unified Korean term. The Korean translation is already 한국어 (ko_KR) by me and other Korean translators. You filed this bug about the Japanese translation. It's

About item 3, It's not true. I am the Korean iso-codes translator but I have NOT translated Japanese to 日本語. (Should Thai be translated in Thai script? ) Iso-codes Japanese translation is for Japanese users. So it should not be written in Hangul. If you don't agree on this language selection UI,

This iso-codes language translation is a set of translated names for each ISO 639 registered langauge, not for locales. There is only one registered language code in ISO 639, ko. And the msgid is Korean, not ko_KR. So it is not possible to distinguish between ko_KR and ko_KP in iso-codes

Anyway this is Japanese translation for Japanese users. IMO if 朝鮮語 is more familiar to the current Japanese users, 朝鮮語 is the better Japanese translation. It is not possible nor desirable to change the way what they have used their language. Westerners call it as Korean, Corean, Coreen, .. and it
