Bug#291971: MK is not alternative language for BG
Package: languagechooser
Version: 1.44
Severity: important
Tags: d-i patch
Hi,
I know it's very late for any changes in Sarge branch, but I found a
thing that can make any Bulgarian laugh at Debian and I would like to
avoid that ;-) In r21549, Anton Zinoviev made the bg line in
languagechooser like that:
Bulgarian;bg_BG;bg_BG;bg;BG;bg_BG:bg:mk:en_GB:en;kbd=ruscii_8x16(cp1251)
Notice that when there is no Bulgarian translation for a program and
there is Macedonian translation, the Macedonian translation is shown.
At first sight, it looks like broken Bulgarian, but after closer look
you find some strange letters like "j" (latin letter). The impression
is bad. I contacted Anton and he agrees that this change was mistake.
So please, please consider fixing this. Trivial patch is attached.
Note that this is far from dangerous change.
I admit that I should catch this earlier but I didn't go that far (using
installed Desktop task) in testing d-i.
Regards,
ogi
