From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; zh-CN; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050909 Red Hat/1.0.6-1.4.2 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: Glibc does not support following major Indic locales: 1. Oriya language locale 2. Sinhala language locale 3. Assamese language locale Although assamese scripts borrowes heavily from the Bengali script(which is supported by glibc now and whose locale is bn_IN) and is nearly same barring for 2 or 3 alphabets which are exclusively used in Assamese and not in Bengali. The following two alphabets are used exclusively for the Assamese script: U09F0 and U09F1. On the other hand the alphabet: U09B0 is used in Bengali but not in Assamese. So need to add a new locale for Assamese. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0980.pdf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.3.4-2.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHEL4 with supporting all languages 2. In directory /usr/lib/locale/ you can't find the locale files for these three languages Actual Results: In directory /usr/lib/locale you can't find the locale files for these three languages Expected Results: In directory /usr/lib/locale you will find the locale files for these three languages Additional info:
Please reopen when the support for those languages is written as a request to include them.
Bug #142708 and Bug #142709 are the requests for RHEL5.
Created attachment 125581 [details] localedef for si_LK Initial localedef for si_LK
FYI, actually the glibc cvs trunk should have a latest version of this localedef: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=367
Look like rawhide glibc contains Sinhala locale def. Closing this until we see any bugs on it. Thanks.
