Hello, I am listed as a maintainer of the be_BY locale. There's been a discussion on the [email protected] [1] mailing list around the creation of the ru_BY locale. The reasoning is as follows: 1. In Belarus, Russian is by far more popular than Belarusian. 2. Most of the local GNU/Linux users live happily with the ru_RU locale. 3. Some things, e.g. the default encoding, the currency, the phone prefix, the name of the country itself differ in the belarusian variant of Russian. 4. By introducing the new locale, we fixing those issues. _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [email protected] http://mova.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/i18n
