Not sure how much help it would be as it definitely seems to be *over-extensive*. i.e. Geeklog accepts the English locale as to be "en-gb". Yet the over-extensive list IE6 has, is over 12 locales for English alone :| i.e. I am certain you're 100% about German my friend but again IE6 shows an over-extensive list of 5 locales including... de-at, de, de-li, de-lu, de-ch... And, believe it or not it excludes "de-DE". Weird... Outside of English and German which these two I feel I have a grip on, how do I decide which locale is right for i.e. French... The current list under IE6 for French is... fr-be, fr-ca, fr, fr-lu, fr-mc, fr-ch Ok, not trying to school anyone but myself here :) How do I go about picking the right locale for another language now that I know how to change the language "language file exclude .php"? I mean is it trial and error or would choosing the simple "fr" be any good? for example... French, "fr" OR "fr-fr" Dutch, "nl" OR "nl-nl" Nepali, "ne" OR "ne-ne" Is the above safe or will I always have to complete the locale to something more specific to get it right? If in case the locale always has to be specific, is it possible to get the language interpreters to identify the specificity within the comments of the language file? I mean this would be good for others who do not wish to change the language for themselves but for others. Unless this is documented already I would surely appreciate the link :) Sorry for the long letter. My point is getting the locale right to languages in which their are so many locales. Thank you Dirk :) -- Best regards, Victor B.

[...] > fr-be, fr-ca, fr, fr-lu, fr-mc, fr-ch As I tried to explain in my previous post, those define (language, country) pairs. So "de-at" is the German (de) dialect spoken in Austria (at), "fr-be" is the French (fr) dialect spoken in Belgium (be), etc. I've always seen the locale for the language as spoken in the originating country denoted as, e.g. "de_DE", i.e. with an underscore and the country code in upper case. But I have to admit that I never tried if "de-de" or "de" would have been accepted, too. The above applies to Unix-like operating systems, only. Windows is a different beast altogether. Some experimenting may help. May I also refer you to the PHP manual for further details? bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://mypod.de/ From geeklog-translations-admin at lists.geeklog.net Sat Jan 3 12:36:54 2004 From: geeklog-translations-admin at lists.geeklog.net (geeklog-translations-admin at lists.geeklog.net) Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2004 12:36:54 -0500 Subject: [geeklog-translations] How to set the Geeklog language from English to anything else globally?

But I have to admit that I never tried if "de-de" or >"de" would have been accepted, too. As this forum thread demonstrates, it does make a difference: So, in this case, 'es_ES' worked while 'es-ES' did not. On my machine (MacOS X, PHP 4.3.5rc1), 'es_es' does also work, so it may not be necessary to have the country code in upper case letters. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://mypod.de/
