Created attachment 115480 [details] Locale data file for Venetian language
Test compiling this I got the usual pitfall warnings, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_Localization_Guide/How_To_Submit_New_Locale_Data#Pitfalls Warning: QuotationStart may be wrong: U+201C “ Warning: QuotationEnd may be wrong: U+201D ” Warning: DoubleQuotationStart may be wrong: U+2018 ‘ Warning: DoubleQuotationEnd may be wrong: U+2019 ’ Warning: FormatCode formatindex="12" for currency uses parentheses for negative amounts, which probably is not correct for locales not based on en_US. Warning: FormatCode formatindex="13" for currency uses parentheses for negative amounts, which probably is not correct for locales not based on en_US. Warning: FormatCode formatindex="14" for currency uses parentheses for negative amounts, which probably is not correct f or locales not based on en_US. Warning: FormatCode formatindex="15" for currency uses parentheses for negative amounts, which probably is not correct for locales not based on en_US. Warning: FormatCode formatindex="17" for currency uses parentheses for negative amounts, which probably is not correct for locales not based on en_US. I'll exchange the quotation marks and let the currency number formats follow the it-IT ones.

What made me wonder, vec-IT uses Y/M/D date order whereas it-IT uses D/M/Y date order, and vec-IT uses '.' decimal and ',' group separator whereas it-IT uses ',' decimal and '.' group separator. Such differences within a country are rare, intentional?

I think the author of the file have made a mistake in the date order modifying from the en-US locale data setting, as you can see at the end of the XML As a venetian (inhabitant of Veneto region, not the Venice province), I guarantee the setting is the same as it-IT for the date and the numbers values (, for decimals, . for mupliple of 1000, the D/M/Y date order and so on), and must be correct avoiding all the format problem bewteen venetians and not-venetians. All the other localization settings seems to be ok. What i don't understand is why the vec-IT have not changed anything of my LO installation after set Veneto as language. The text remained all italian in the LO menus, is normal? It affect only the format cells?
Yes, locale data is only for document content. For UI localization you'd need translation of the product, which is something completely different. So, the data representation should actually be identical to it-IT as I already suspected in comment 4? Except day and month names and the like of course.. I'll change things around then.
