GENERAL ======= In KDE we support localization of calendars, dates, time, numbers. KDE will use this when displaying your language . Currently there are some 237 countries supported. If your country is missing, please let us know. The official ISO codes unsupported as at 18/11/2008 are: * AQ Antarctica * BV Bouvet Island * GS South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands * HM Heard Island and MacDonald Islands * IO British Indian Ocean Territory * SJ Svalbard and Jan Mayen * TF French Southern Territories * UM United States Minor Outlying Islands Of these, the following codes are likely to be considered for support: * SJ Svalbard and Jan Mayen The other codes are unlikely to be considered due to lack of population. HOW TO ADD INFORMATION ====================== First you have to write a file called "entry.desktop". This file will be used to translate the language. Please use the file "country.template" as template. You will need a nice flag for your country. The size should be 21x14 pixels, and it should be called "flag.png". To add your information, we need a two letter country code for you country. Use http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/ or the entities.csv document in this folder as a guide. Now you are done, and you can submit the files to KDE project by adding a wish item on bugs.kde.org under Product kdelibs Componant KLocale. The files will be added in the next release. WHAT IS ENTRY.DESKTOP ===================== entry.desktop is a file which defines a locale for a country. It's stored the same way as the rest of the KDE configuration files. The very first line should only contain "[KCM Locale]". The rest of the file should contain one line for each of the entries below. Add "=" between the entry name and the value. * Author The name of the email address to reach you. Default: blank * Name The name of the country in English. Default: blank Hans Petter Bieker Lukas Tinkl John Layt
