Re: Belarussian Latin translation

[Ihar Hrachyshka <ihar hrachyshka gmail com>]

Hello!
We know about this problem and try to resolve it by changing locale name
as you pointed out. Very pitty, but two years ago when I registered this
locale for glibc there wasn't any formal description of how locale
should be named and I chose "be latin". Here you can see a glibc bug on
this matter: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4176 .
If you can, please help us to resolve it quicker. Anyway, we don't want
to rename it in GNOME until it would be renamed in UPSTREAM libc tree. I
think that this wouldn't be a great problem for you and, importantly,
for Belarusian community to change locale naming.
Thanks for your attention to our problems!
For belarusians: Lacinka.org and I have just started the project of
Belarusian Latin localization of free software so if anyone is
interested in the results - welcome:)
