Locale proposal for German in Italy (South Tyrol)

[Matthias Dieter WallnÃfer <matthias dot wallnoefer at lugbz dot org>]

Dear glibc locale maintainers,

I am a German-speaking inhabitant of the Autonomous Province of
Bolzano/Bozen (South Tyrol) in Italy. Different to other German-speaking
territories (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and also Belgium) we have
the disadvantage of not having our own locale.

As I am a computer scientist and an active member of the local LUG I
finally thought to finally create one for us. So I merged the de_AT and
the it_IT locales together to fit my needs. I chose de_AT since our
German is Austrian-like, for instance we call January "JÃnner" not
"Januar". The territorial components including the telephone and postal
formats derive from it_IT.

I have performed some tests on it (including show-ucs-data and
first-weekdays) and noticed no difficulties. In a nutshell I wrote
nothing new, since it is just a combination of the two pre-existing locales.

Please let me know about eventual changes and how to get it integrated
into upstream glibc.

Regards,
Matthias Dieter WallnÃfer
Bolzano/Bozen
