Description Xake 2005-02-06 10:37:49 UTC

A pretty new change to the OpenOffice-ebuilds is the usage of LINGUAS. Currently it does not work very well for me.

In the most localization-guides I have found LINGUAS has been set to a value equal to sv_SE or sv_SE.UTF-8 for me to get Swedish.
However currently this two choices gives me an errormessage saing this values is unsupported. The only one working for me is just plain "LINGUAS=sv" and nothing else.

If I've got a wrongfully setted LINGUAS I would be happy to be pointed to a place where I could find accurate resources.

The needed information:
OpenOffice-Ximian-1.3.8

/etc/env.d/02locale
#Non-working values
LINGUAS="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LINGUAS="sv_SE"
#The only working value
LINGUAS="sv"

You muddle LANG and LINGUAS. LINGUAS doesn't deal with encodings or languages/idioms, which are not supported by a package. Unfortunately there is no all-embracing i18n/l10n solution yet.
