- Is there such pack for pa-pk?

I dont think so but I'm not sure.


- And do you have "Punjabi" options in Control Panel \ Regional Options \
Standarts and formats?

Yes I do have it.

Check also:
www.7-zip.org/translation.txt
I've added:
00000002 = "70-1"
It can help to detect default language at start time.
Remove "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip\Lang" registry item at first for
testing.

- If what you mean is a Language Interface Pack for Punjabi, then yes,
it's
available.

- Do you use Gurmukhī?

Yes I'm using Gurmukhi and because of the difference in scripts for
Punjabi language I suggested that we use the IN suffix (IN for India).
Punjabi language spoken in India is written using Gurmukhi script. I think
there is no ISO 639-1 code defined for Punjabi (written using Shahmukhi
script). I dont know the reason why.


- What code we can use for Shahmukhi (if someone can translate to it)?

The answer to this question, in my opinion, is to use ISO 639-3 codes
which defined the code 'pan' for Indian Punjabi (Gurmukhi Script) and
'pnb' for Pakistan Punjabi (Shahmukhi script).

http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=pan
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=pnb


If you dont want to upgrade to ISO 639-3 codes, I suggest you allow the
use of pa-IN code for Indian Punjabi, and pa-PK code for Pakistan Punjabi.

One more thing, if you follow this link (
http://people.w3.org/rishida/utils/subtags/ ) and in front of SEARCH FOR
SUBTAGS, write PA-IN, you will notice that the search result comes out as
LANGUAGE: Punjabi, REGION: India
Now replace PA-IN with PA-PK (in front of SEARCH FOR SUBTAGS), the result
will now come as LANGUAGE: Punjabi, REGION: Pakistan.

Hope it helps.

Wikipedia:
"There are several different scripts used for writing the Punjabi
language, depending on the region and the dialect spoken, as well as the
religion of the speaker. The script used for writing Punjabi in the Punjab
province of Pakistan is known as Shahmukhi (from the mouth of the Kings)
which is a modified version of Persian-Nasta'liq script. Sikhs and others
in the Indian state of Punjab use the Gurmukhī (from the mouth of the
Gurus) script."

Do you use Gurmukhī?
What code we can use for Shahmukhi (if someone can translate to it)?

- But is there any another real postfix (in some specification) or some
real translation file with another postfix?

No.


May be we can safely remove the IN post-suffix (as of now).

- Moreover, if you take a look at projects like Ubuntu, Debian, Firefox,
etc., you will notice that pa-IN is the code used for translation
purposes.

Actually yes, it would be good if we add the IN postfix in the language
code because Punjabi is not only spoken in India but in some other
countries too and differs in one way or the other. Moreover, if you take a
look at projects like Ubuntu, Debian, Firefox, etc., you will notice that
pa-IN is the code used for translation purposes.

Thank you.

Thanks!
According wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjabi
ISO 639-1 code is just "pa".
So do we need "-in" postfix?
Is there any other postfix for "pa"?
