Created attachment 115026 [details] Patch adding Church Slavic locale data Church Slavic (ISO 639 code "cu") needs to be handled separately from Russian because it has a different character set, collation, etc. This patch adds the locale data for Church Slavic and makes Church Slavic appear in the list of languages. Note that Microsoft has not given Church Slavic a Windows LCID, so I have set it to 9999 (that probably needs to be changed).

Please see my comments there.
Reassigning to the one who is actually working on this, Aleksandr.
I can't say if it's worth reporting, and also I don't have any knowledge in this field, but I find this language to be called mainly "Church Slavonic" on the internet.
Ethnologue names it "Slavonic, Old Church", which in the language listbox might make more sense, as users would search rather for Slavonic (or Slavic) than for Church), see https://www.ethnologue.com/language/chu We usually use the Ethnologue names. ISO 639-1/639-3 name it "Church Slavic", see http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp?order=639_3&letter=c However, there are some more names, see http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=chu
Hello Eike and Matteo, There is some confusion in the linguistics literature between "Old Church Slavonic" (AKA "Old Slavonic" or "Old Bulgarian") and "Church Slavonic" (AKA "Church Slavic"). Old Church Slavonic is an ancient, dead language -- the stuff of ancient manuscripts. "Church Slavonic", or "Church Slavic", (technically speaking, "New Church Slavic") is a liturgical language currently used in the Russian Orthodox Church and other religious communities. It is not a dead language. Millions of people (mostly in Russia, but also in Ukraine and the Balkans) use it in their worship on a regular basis; so there is a genuine need to type texts in this language. The terms "Church Slavic" and "Church Slavonic" do seem to be used interchangeably in English. ISO 639-1 used "Church Slavic". The same is used by Unicode in CLDR: http://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/cu_RU// So it seems to make sense to me to use the same term. But I am fine with "Church Slavonic" or "Slavonic, Church" or "Slavic, Church", as well. Just please no "Old", because "Old Church Slavonic" is something else.
