Re: Is rst2odt -l cs supposed to work?

Günter and Matěj,

I did the commit.

And, before I did so, I took Matěj's suggestion about using
``locale.normalize(lang), so now you can use::

    $ rst2odt.py -l cs somedoc.txt somedoc.odt
    $ rst2odt.py -l es somedoc.txt somedoc.odt

to get Czech and Spanish (Spain).

And, of course, you can override the region, for example::

    $ rst2odt.py -l cs-GB  somedoc.txt somedoc.odt
    $ rst2odt.py -l es-mx somedoc.txt somedoc.odt

to get British English and Mexican Spanish.

Thank you for that suggestion, Matěj.  I did know about that.

Dave K.
