https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D228587 Bug ID: 228587 Summary: [PATCH] ga_IE.UTF-8 locale Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: micheal.maclochlainn@oegaillimh.ie Created attachment 193811 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D193811&action= =3Dedit LC_TIME file to support the creation of a ga_IE.UTF-8 locale Hello. I'm new to the FreeBSD community. I've read the rules but please be understanding if I accidentally break any :) I needed a ga_IE.UTF-8 (Irish language_Irish conventions) locale for use in= the vt console but, as far as I can tell, FreeBSD doesn't have one so I made my own, based on the en_IE.UTF-8 locale. I don't know if it's correctly-formed= but it seems to work in testing so I offer it here as a patch. I only modified the LC_TIME file. All the others were either symlinks or di= dn't need changing (with one exception, below) and could be copied across from en_IE.UTF-8. So the modified LC_TIME, with certain strings translated as appropriate, is all I've uploaded here. There is one thing that probably still needs work. In en_IE.UTF-8, LC_MESSA= GES is a link to a file of the same name in en_US.UTF-8. This contains a couple= of 'yes' / 'no' strings that are fine for English (Ireland) but not for Irish (Ireland). I thought about copying LC_MESSAGES from en_US.UTF-8 to an actual file in ga_IE.UTF-8 and then adding translations but (1) I couldn't work out the syntax and (2) Irish doesn't have words for 'yes' and 'no'; you use positive and negative forms of whatever verb to articulate equivalent meani= ngs so it can be tricky finding one-size-fits-all strings in cases like this. I= 'd need to have context. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
