Tools for writing locales files?
I'm currently trying to help completing the set of locales files we
have in Debian. For instance, I currently try to create a sr_CS locale
from the sr_YU locale (Serbian/Serbia and Montenegro from
Serbian/Yugoslavia).
However, editing these files is a bit boring and difficult as it needs
knowing Unicode codes for all characters...which is a bit painful.
Do some of you know about dedicated tools (or Emacs mode) for writing
such locales files or do I have to do it "the hard way"?
Example of locale file:
comment_char %
escape_char /
