What we were told was that all language codes are two letters followed
possibly by an underscore and two more letters (in capitals). If this
isn't true, I'd be happy to change lintian, but I know nothing about
this whole area, so I really need some sort of canonical documentation
or i18n expert to tell me what to do.
Mh... should we contact the i18n for this issue?
According to wikipedia (the german one) nds is the abbrev. for
the "Niederdeutsche Sprache" or also called "Plattdüütsch" [1].
There is also a niederdeutsche Version of wikipedia [2].
debian-i18n folks:
Currently, the regex used by lintian to validate po file names is:
/^[a-z]{2,2}(_[A-Z]{2,2})?\.po$/
so it expects language codes in the form:
nn
nn_NN
It looks like this is an ISO 639-2 language code. Should lintian be
allowing for those in po file names as well? In other words, should I
also permit:
nnn
