Thanks. In relation to the language I want to add, there is a comment in that page 'maintainers seem to refuse "artificial languages" like Esperanto an Lojban, even if they got a ISO 639 code'.
Having that comment added to the glibc *official* page would save time to all the people periodically asking for esperanto to be added. Please check bugs #2135 and #711 to see the latest presentations of our case.
I think it's best for everybody to have the official policy spelled out clearly.
Eduardo.
