Bug#265538: [INTL:sv] Minor concerns about Swedish entry in languagelist



Package: languagechooser
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n patch

There are some minor problems with Swedish entry which doesn't cause 
harmful results at the moment, but may introduce unexpected bugs in 
future as far as the current format of languagelist and SUPPORTED list 
concerned:

* Fallback locale code (3rd entry 'sv_SE.ISO.8859-1') must be present in 
  the first column of /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED:

-Swedish;sv;sv_SE.ISO-8859-1;sv;;sv_SV:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(iso15)
+Swedish;sv;sv_SE;sv;;sv_SV:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(iso15)

* Note that 'sv_SE' in SUPPORTED list points to the 'sv_SE.ISO-8859-1'.  
  To include the 'euro' symbol, it should be changed as follows:

-Swedish;sv;sv_SE.ISO-8859-1;sv;;sv_SV:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(iso15)
+Swedish;sv;sv_SE.ISO-8859-15;sv;;sv_SV:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(iso15)

Seeing that the console font ACM is also iso15, I suggest to apply the 
last patch (after tested by a Swedish spoken user).

* There are two countries where Swedish is spoken: Sweden and Finland.  
  Finnish is already existed in languagelist (probably because it has a 
  different locale, not a variant of sv_SE).  So the following change 
  could also be considered to apply in an effort to drop the country 
  chooser dialog for Swedish:

(with euro -- suggested)
-Swedish;sv;sv_SE.ISO-8859-1;sv;;sv_SV:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(iso15)
+Swedish;sv_SE.ISO-8859-15;sv_SE.ISO-8859-15;sv;SV;sv_SV:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(iso15)

(w/o euro)
-Swedish;sv;sv_SE.ISO-8859-1;sv;;sv_SV:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(iso15)
+Swedish;sv_SE;sv_SE;sv;SV;sv_SV:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(iso15)
