escapes me - dialects surely) were added later.
I also find the use of double quotes a bit odd, as if
there is some sort of difference between "en-GB" and
simple bg. I wonder if a 'pure' US system install
returns "en-US" or just en. And, is this all part of
that hairy-chested nonsense that has been going on on
both sides of the Atlantic since the "American
Colonies" did the sensible thing?
Thanks for the confirmation.
I think you're reading too much into it. The quotes seem to surround
any hyphenated entry, presumably for parsing purposes. (see the "zh-
Hans", "zh-Hant" items in my earlier mail)
As for nonsense, perhaps. But it may be useful to applications that
need to know whether to stiffen their lip or not. A "en-Cowdenbeath"
entry might be a useful warning for some programs too. :-)
Cheers
