GENERAL
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
In KDE we support localization of calendars, dates, time, numbers.
|
|
KDE will use this when displaying such information, giving you
|
|
a feeling that KDE was written to fit your national standards. To make
|
|
this possible, we need to gather some information on your national
|
|
standards. 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
|
|
describe your national standards. Please read the section below for
|
|
more information on that. 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
