Re: [PATCH] Fix Charset comment in fi_FI, fi_FI at euro


Hi,

correct, no non-ISO-8859-15 characters are used in the locale itself
elsewhere.

Updated patch below, ok now? Thanks.

2013-11-26  Marko Myllynen  <myllynen@redhat.com>

	* locales/fi_FI: Fix Charset comment.
	* locales/fi_FI@euro: Likewise.
