Re: Two translations for Uzbekistan

Okay, this is all a bit off-topic for this list (gnome-i18n), so just  
skip all you who don't care.

Actually, a month or so ago all the translations were hand-converted to  
cyrillic, so KDE now has Serbian support in cyrillic only. They  
actually decided not to allow them to include both translations in CVS  
because of "space limits", and latin will be included only prior to  
releases.

So, it makes GNU libc the only culprit. Unfortunately, noone seems  
willing to accept the new locales for "Serbia and Montenegro" :-(

Is it possible to create locale aliases in GNU libc, just like it's  
done in XFree86 (apart from making symbolic links, but I'm not sure how  
well would that work)?

Btw, are you including updated locales in Mandrake -- they're available  
from http://srpski.org/locale :-)

It is already used by many Serbian users, and no problems have been  
reported (it contains no regressions as compared to sr_YU, just  
improvements ;-).

Cheers,
