Motivation: 1. Define proper LC_COLLATE section for Tamil, so that programs like sort, uniq etc. will sort in the order expected by native Tamil language users. The default order in Unicode and ISO14651, which is the just the code point order, is *not* the order expected by Tamil speakers. References: * Issues in Indic Language Collation http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn1/ * Alphabetic ordering according to Tamil Lexicon, Madras 1924-39: http://www.uni-koeln.de/phil-fak/indologie/tamil/otl.html 2. Fix typos in day & month abbr, LC_NAME fields. Created attachment 7 [details]
Patch to ta_IN locale file to add LC_COLLATE section
*** Bug 27 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Can you attach a test for the collation order? It should be a text file with the lines the correct sorting order. It is nice if the file demonstrate (display) some of the problematic sorting issues. Created attachment 78 [details]
Patch to update ta_IN (sorting order, day/month names, lc_name).
The previous patch to not apply cleanly to the current glibc CVS.
Here is an improved patch which applies cleanly and only changes the
relevant parts of the file.
I still would like to hear from the original authors, but am starting
to understand that it might never happen. It would be nice to have
a test file to use to check the sorting order.

Patch to fix ta_IN locale.
I've submitted the patch to the libc-hacker mailing list, requesting
the glibc maintainers to commit it to CVS.
