Description Bill Nottingham 2010-09-21 20:30:49 UTC

Description of problem:

FF ships some langpacks only in locale-specific form:

langpack-bn-BD.org
langpack-bn-IN.org

langpack-es-AR.org
langpack-es-CL.org
langpack-es-ES.org
langpack-es-MX.org

langpack-fy-NL.org
langpack-ga-IE.org

langpack-gu-IN.org

langpack-hi-IN.org

langpack-nb-NO.org

langpack-nn-NO.org

langpack-pa-IN.org

langpack-pt-BR.org
langpack-pt-PT.org

langpack-sv-SE.org

langpack-zh-CN.org
langpack-zh-TW.org

Given that some of these have other valid xx_<LOCALE> locales that firefox could be run in (example: es_US), firefox should ship a symlink that links from langpack-xx to a reasonable langpack-xx-YY fallback.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

firefox-3.6.7-1.fc14.x86_64

Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2010-09-22 11:28:31 UTC

Okay, but we need a map table to choose which one is a default if there are more than one possibility.

Comment 2 Iván Jiménez 2011-01-20 02:17:52 UTC

Any progress on this? It's making fedora looks less polished than ubuntu, where it doesn't happen.

Comment 3 Martin Stransky 2011-01-20 12:04:55 UTC

I'll check it.
