The attached file keeps the modifications which the GNU Herds project has
realized to the SVN HEAD of the iso-codes packages:
Spanish
Italian
Portuguese
French
iso_639
iso_3166
iso_4217
We want follow working to be in sync with the iso-codes package's PO files.
We have done a lot of changes at our files, however we propose several
changes to the isocodes PO files too, which I hope you take into
consideration:
If the iso-codes package is going to be used by a lot of different
applications it should offer all the used word constructions. For example,
at the ComboBoxes we group sets of entities to make it easier to the user to
find it.
Dinars, Libia
Dinars, Serbia
Dinars, Sudán
Dinars, Túnez
...
Dollars, Bahamas
Dollars, Barbados
Dollars, Belize
...
The ComboBoxes are sorted.
When we expose it as a label, it is better to show it as:
"Libian Dinars"
"Serbian Dinars"
"Sudanese Dinars"
The proposed structure for the POT iso_4217 files should have at least the
below elements:
#. currency_name for AED
msgid "UAE Dirham"
msgstr "Dirham of the Emiratos Arabes Unidos"
msgid "Dirham, United Arab Emirates"
msgstr "Dirham, Emiratos Arabes Unidos"
# plural
msgid "UAE Dirhams"
msgstr "Dirhams of the Emiratos Arabes Unidos"
msgid "Dirhams, United Arab Emirates"
msgstr "Dirhams, Emiratos Arabes Unidos"
About the the iso_3166 files, we propose the below structure. Note we have
already added several names to the attached PO iso_3166 files following the
below structure:
#. name for FJI
msgid "Fiji"
msgstr "Figi"
msgid "Fiji Islands"
msgstr "Isole Figi"
msgid "name -3-"
...
msgid "name -N-"
#. official_name for FJI
msgid "Republic of the Fiji Islands"
msgstr "Repubblica delle Isole Figi"
P.S.: I have set uppercase the first character of the iso_639 languages. Maybe
I should not have done it. The GNU Herds project needs a French translator
maintainer.
Best regards,
Davi
