[Bug localedata/367] Adding si_LK locale to glibc


------- Additional Comments From pere at hungry dot com  2004-09-17 08:08 -------
I had a look at the new locale, and my simple script to check for
frequent errors found no problem with it.  The country part of the
locale name (LK) is for Sri Lanka, but the language code si is
according to ISO 639-2 "Sinhalese", not "Sinhala".  I assume this
is a mis-spelling in the proposed locale.  I suggest this mis-spelling
is fixed, and when this is done, the locale should be acceptable
into glibc.

BTW: I believe it is not really useful to just duplicate the
ISO_IEC TR14652 content for LC_PAPER, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS,
LC_TELEPHONE and LC_MEASUREMENT into the locale.  It might be more
useful to use the 'copy "i18n"' statement to make the reference
more obvious.  This is just an idea, and not a requirement on my
part for inclusion.

I'll forward it to the glibc maintainers when the new version is
available.
