Another question that is probably really obvious, but is it necessary or helpful to have duplicated translations in cases where there are multiple language codes that mean the same thing. Is one always obsolete? Would a user with an obsolete locale (eg ro-RO) and no translation always fall back to the equivalent provided translation (eg ro)?

It doesn't matter if the question is obvious or not. If you wonder over something, it's always right to ask!  2. No, you don't need two locales for the same language region if there are no significant lingual differences. Mozilla tries to switch to two character language codes where applicable instead of the old designations that also included a regional code. For e.g. Romanian, Mozilla now uses ro instead of ro-RO. We use Mozilla's list of official locales as a guide for which locales to use here at BabelZilla, you can find it here: Mozilla Web localization Dashboard. However, if the obsolete locale is further translated than the new one, you might want to check with the translator(s) if they want to merge the locales before you delete it. /Lakrits -------------------- "[…] och han talar med bönder på böndernas sätt

Wladimir, the author of the extension, switched the romanian locale so that it follows the Mozilla behaviour. Since quite a few weeks, I cannot access the localization, though - in my profile I can only choose "ro-RO" as "my language", and apparently if these values mismatch, I am completely denied the access to the entension locales. Can someone make the check more tolerant to such occurences? Regards, /uv |
