Unfortunately, this is not anything we can fix. Each application can behave wildly different, as not all ebuilds support LINGUAS quite the same way, despite all the instructions gnu.org has for how gettext-based applications should handle LINGUAS. Best I can do is point you toward bug 67838 and bug 63545, sorry. So it IS like "every package is using different algorithm for choosing prefered language". Still, looking for information in bugzilla (especially when the relevant bugs are not only closed, but RESOLVED FIXED) is not ideal way. What about warning in guide-localization.xml that LINGUAS support is not consistent with link on some list about how individual application mishandle it (can be made from links to bugzilla) ?

(Because saying "LINGUAS support isn't consistent" really means nothing, by itself.) The appropriate place for such solutions would be the forums. Leaving as RESO CANTFIX. |
