Support mongolian classical script
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:13:25 UTC
Please support Mongolian Classical/traditional to build system. MS LCID Hex=0850, MS LCID Dec=2128. ISO code is same. mn Which OOo code should we use for it?
is -> badaa: Shall it be something like mn-TR 0 2128 # Mongolian Classical/traditional in msi-encodinglist.txt?
Setting target 3.x
Ok. There is nothing to be said against it.
Sorry, but this won't work. "mn-TR" is not a valid ISO locale, so we can't do it. MS Language IDs allow to differentiate the two Mongolian layouts, but for our build locales we use the ISO codes. cc'ing Eike who is our expert for locale stuff.
Well, mn-TR is a valid ISO locale, but it would mean Mongolian in Turkey ;-) For the script types not yet supported see the comment I just added to http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91226#desc20
Grabbing issue, making it an i18n issue, setting it as blocker to issue 91226. Effectively, the support for script types (or any workaround) will be the basis to get that issue solved.
This issue is mainly about the ISO code mapping, but also having a new language list box entry, where currently is only "Mongolian": Mongolian Cyrillic Mongolian Mongolian
may be we need to add "mn-TR"(traditional mongolian), "mn-MN"(khalha mongolian) and "mn-TD"(tod mongolian), "mn-BR"(buriyad mongolian),"mn-KL"(khalmek mongolian) etc. in iso to support every mongolian script!
Yes! I think, it is the best solution, which means most complete and easiest way for mongolian language groups. Also as mentioned by huqitu: mn-MN (khalha mongolian, officially used cyrillic letters) mn-TR (tradional/vertical mongolian) mn-TD may be same (tod mongolian used by western mongolians, also vertical) Mongolian traditional, todo, manju are implemented in Unicode in same block. (1800-18AF) mn-BR (buriyad mongolian/north cyrillic and some more extra letters) mn-KL (khalmek mongolian, also cyrillic and some extra) I think it's arguably possible because all the scripts are minor. @mba: If so, would be solved our chronicle issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91226 ? If we have separate locales, we don't need to mix all scripts in same document.
Again, the suggested mn-* codes are not valid ISO descriptions for different scripts. We need to implement BCP47 RFC5646 language tags to properly solve this. Added dependency on issue 109846. Reassigning to spare time account.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
