[Scrollkeeper-devel] Locale fallback

[Laszlo K. - S. I. <las...@su...>]

Hi,

Here is another one. Scrollkeeper is designed to fall back to translated 
locales if docs are not translated to the current locale.

setlocale() (in libs/i18n.c) is used to identify the desired fallback 
path with the C locale sticked to the end (so that we fall back to 
English if all else fails).

But if we are in a locale like ja_JP.UTF-8, the Sun i180n team is 
telling me that we should be able to fall back to a ja or ja_JP if 
ja_JP.UTF-8 is not available (before falling to English). This should be 
the case even if setlocale() only returns ja_JP.UTF-8 (as opposed to 
ja_JP.UTF-8:ja_JP:ja). I know this is not implemented right now. Is this 
how people think it should work? Or some other way?

Please comment,

Laszlo
