Dear All,
We are working on the Chinese locale and i18n subject on Linux.
The locale, "zh_TW.Big5", is our native language support in Taiwan.
We now have the "zh_TW.Big5" locale data and "BIG5_1984" font map
file, and we want to contribute them into the standard glibc-2.1.X
and future release. I am not sure if it is suitable to post this
mail in this mailing list. If it is not, please tell me what email
address which I should mail to.
In our "zh_TW.Big5" locale data, the "LC_COLLATE" part is copied
from "en_DK". We do have our own "LC_COLLATE" data, but current
release of glibc-2 (2.1.1) still has some problem to compile it.
And we are still testing it. If in the future the problem fixed,
we would like to update the "zh_TW.Big5" locale data file to include
our "LC_COLLATE" data.
The locale data files are attached in the end of this mail. The
original contributer is Ming-Che Chuang <b4614225@ms.cc.ntu.edu.tw>,
and now it is mainly maintained by the president of CLE (Chinese Linux
Extension) project, Yuan-Chung Cheng <platin@ms31.hinet.net>. This mail
will be sent to "libc-alpha@cygnus.com" and "debian-glibc@lists.debian.org"
mailing lists.
Best regards,
T.H.Hsieh
