Dear Zdenko,
Yes, locales can now begin to include translations and abbreviation for
these additional books. I have done 2 things to ease this process:
1) we now automatically add all builtin abbreviations to each locale.
There used to be a requirement that these all had to be present in each
locale so English abbrevs would continue to coexist with localized
abbrevs. Now the English abbrevs are automatically added.
2) removed all the english abbrevs for all locales. This was a silly
requirement that each locale duplicate all the english abbreviations.
We've talked for a long time about removing them, and now that they are
automatically added via the #1 above, they will all be consistent, and
will be updated when we add new books, and they are no longer required
to be duplicated in each locale.
This will make all locales 'work' programatically with the new books.
But, for the locales to be complete, they need to provide translations
of the new books in their language, or the expense they will incur will
be showing their user English.
Thanks for the important reminder.
-Troy.

Hello Troy,
I have a look at canon_abbrevs.h and there are listed also apocrypha
books (e.g. Baruch, Enoch, Maccabees, Wisdom etc.) This books are not
in locales.d/*.conf (in mt-utf8.conf they are commented).
Should be these book translated in locales.d/*.conf? If yes than all
locales files should be updated...

Speaking of bundled systems in my last email about v11n reminded me
that we have some outstanding issues with a few of the locales we
bundle. There are a few which still use the old numeric syntax for
designing with which book an abbreviation is associated. e.g.,
GE=1
instead of
GE=Gen
The new syntax uses osis book ids.
Any takers on updating? The locales I see problems with in here:
http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/locales.d/
are:
af.conf
mt-utf8.conf
zh_english-utf8.conf
zh_TW-utf8.conf
Thanks for any help.
