Could we also revise languages and language codes?
I think we should prefer Country-independent languages over country ones.
So, we should prefer German ("de") over German in Germany ("de_DE") and German in Austria ("de_AT").
In case where we have country specific ones - like pl_PL -, can we rename them to country independent ones - like pl?
When asking for new languages, we should then get the independent one in first and only after consolidation with the existing team create a specific one.
What do you think?
I can't directly speak to the conversation that led to this list, but StevenK and Daisy came up with the following list, which seems to go by what you suggest:
ar as bg-BG
Rename to bg?
bn-IN
Rename to bn?
Bangla is used in two different countries. Bengali in India. and Bangla in Bangladesh. Can not generalize the term for it.
brx
ca cs de el en-AU en-GB es es-MX fi-FI
Rename to fi?
fil
fr gu he hi hu id it ja ka-GE
Rename to ka?
kn
ko-KR
Can we rename to ko, please?
kok
ks mai mni mr ne nl-NL
Rename to nl?
pa-IN
Rename to pa?
Punjabi (pa) has two scripts, one is Gurmukhi used in Indian side of Punjab and the other is Shahmukhi (Urdu) used in Pakistan's Punjab, so renaming to a generalized name wont do the justice to both entirely different scripts.
pl-PL
Can we rename the above to pl, please?
pt
pt-BR ru sl-SI
Rename to sl?
sr
ta te-IN
Rename to te?
tr-TR
Rename to tr?
ur
vi-VN
Rename to vi?
zh-CN
zh-TW
Copied from this pastebin that StevenK shared last night, in case it expires: http://paste.openstack.org/show/429137/
Background: We get *lots* of request on transifex for new languages, for example today for pl. There's right now no reason to have both pl and pl-PL. I'd like us to standardize here...
