Description Rolando Coto 2020-12-12 05:59:23 UTC

Hi! I am making extensions for dictionaries of two Indigenous languages of Costa Rica, and I would like to request the addition of the following two ISO 639 codes:

cjp: Cabécar
bzd: Bribri

Thank you!

Eike: thought you might be interested in this one.
BTW I wonder how you find the right codes.
I mean taking a look at https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=e1873e961169f6a90820bb6d26a16f3fd32ccaca
Language list: + Aka (CAR); Yaka -> Yaka (Congo), + Yaka (DRC) [yaf-CD]

I don't find anything about "yaf" or "0x06A9"

@Julien:
The ISO 639 codes can be found at https://iso639-3.sil.org/code_tables/639/data (leading to https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/yaf for your example).
If an ISO 639-1 two letter code exists we use that, otherwise the ISO 639-3 three letter code.
For the MS-LCID it depends, if there exists one assigned by Microsoft we of course use that, otherwise we assign one in the reserved for user-defined IDs ranges, include/i18nlangtag/lang.h has a bunch of comments on that.

@Rolando:
Note that even if there is no language list entry defined (yet) you can use a proper language tag in the Locales property of your dictionaries.xcu file. The tag then will be displayed on top of the language list in the paragraph or character attribution as, for example, {cjp-CR} or {bzd-CR}.
(a CJK or CTL language would need an additional property to identify which list).
