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
