Re: Kurdish Language Name Problem in v.2.25

 

Jason,

Do you know the exact source of this language list?

I know the Debian project maintains a localized set of the various isocode
standards for language name, country, currency, etc.  If you could help me
track down the code source, I'm more than willing to look into bugging them
about representing Kurdish Sorani properly in their code.
