Description joey 2002-12-01 06:58:31 UTC 
Nils,

Please update isocodes.txt to include Esperanto.

Language Name(English)  Language Name(French) 639-2   639-1 
Esperanto               espéranto             epo     eo 

I believe we need to add the following:

LANGUAGE_ESPERANTO                "eo-EO"

Thanks,

Joey

ISO 639 - "Code for the representation of names of languages"  
contains Esperanto but ISO 3166 - "Codes for the representation of 
names of countries" does not since Esperanto is a language.

This is correct. The language tag must be just 'eo'.
Comment 3 nils.fuhrmann 2003-02-12 10:12:41 UTC 
I have added esperanto as currently unsupported by the OOo ressource
system. I'm not sure if we can add esperanto support that easy,
because there are different dependencies to internal representations
which depend on another well known non open sourced office
application, wherin such representation is not existent for esperanto
(as far as I know).

If we ignore this dependencies, we potentially loose some filtzer
functionality.
Comment 4 joey 2003-02-12 16:12:42 UTC 
Nils,

Can you be more specific about the non-OO dependancies? I can go hunt them down for you.  The last time I went through the code, it appeared that the ISOCODES.TXT file was the only place other than the normal files for localization that needed tweaking. We are using UTF-8 so it should be compliant with the rest of the system. I'm worried that without the entry in ISOCODES, the subsystem would not be able to process Esperanto as a language.  I supose we could try it to do the work without updating isocodes, but I don't want my translation team to do all that work for nothing.  I'm sure you can understand.   Is there a way we can test this?

Thanks!

Joey

The obstacles are described in issue 11530.

Btw: It seems that isocodes.txt is YAOL (Yet Another Outdated List)
and isn't used anywhere. The real mapping takes place in
tools/source/intntl/isolang.cxx
http://util.openoffice.org/source/browse/util/tools/source/intntl/isolang.cxx

I think we can close this issue if we record Esperanto in issue 11530,
objections anyone?
