Why? Ref http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets && KDE/Qt/Xtt ... , there is a locale name called "zh_TW.Big5" but just FreeBSD uses "zh_TW.BIG5". It might be a mistake when initial commit this locale name. I have a proposal to change the system locale name(/usr/share/locale/) , make compatiable with the defination of IANA charset, and let modern I18N application happier. This proposal have no objection here(FreeBSD Chinese community, or said Taiwan). So I just remind that if the directory name follow with /usr/share/locale , it should be zh_TW.Big5. Yeah I'll commit this change ASAP, at least before FDP reorganization happen.. > > I'd like the directory names to be compatible with the directories in > /usr/share/locale/ unless there's a good reason not to be. > > en_US.ISO_8859-1/ > ja_JP.EUC/ > ru_SU.KOI8-R/ > zh_CN.EUC/ > zh_TW.BIG5/ > > and so on. > > N > -- > [intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed, > non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs > the links. > -- Tom Christiansen in <375143b5@cs.colorado.edu> > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
