Kaingang locale missing

Note here: after setting up locale, https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-kgp is the team we need to appoint for this language.

Hi zedomel,

I will assist you in creating the locale.

We need the following information:

 - name of the country in which this locale is applied
 - define the alphabet and character ordering
 - define missing character substitution
 - define full and abreviated day name, full and abreviated month names
 - define date and time representation
 - define paper and telephone standards
 - define measurement system
 - define currency

 - name of the country in which this locale is applied
   Brazil

 - define the alphabet and character ordering
   vowels: A Á Ã E É I Ĩ O Ó U Ũ Y Ỹ
   consonants: F G H J K M N NH P R S T V '
   attention to the ' , it also is consonant in Kaingang alphabet

 - define missing character substitution
   what is the meaning?

I found a link which could help in this phase:

Can you list the letter orders in the alphabet . Like A B C D E ....

Character substitution is useful for fonts that don't have the specific characters for you langauge and for example you can say that É can be substituted by E

Please take a look at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/451204 and see what information was provided there

I have new informations in attached file. The fields in yellow are what I don't understand well what is the meaning.

Thanks.

Paper standard : for example if the default paper format is A4 or Letter ... or you have other default size

Regarding the character subsitution... i will have to repeate myself :D

Character substitution is useful for fonts that don't have the specific characters for you language.
For example you can say that É can be substituted by E . As E is better than a blank box or question mark.

Hi, I got the needed informations:

-paper standard: A4

- missing character substituting:

ẽ can be substituted by e underlying Ẽ can be substituted by E underlying

ĩ can be substituted by i underlying Ĩ can be substituted by I underlying

ỹ can be substituted by y underlying Ỹ can be substituted by Y underlying

ũ can be substituted by u underlying Ũ can be substituted by U underlying

??? Is it ok?

kgp_BR locale file.

Some field need to be fixed:

LC_MESSAGES
% The affirmative response -
% "[]"
% FIXME
%
yesexpr "<U005E><U005B><U0053><U0073><U0079><U0059><U005D><U002E><U002A>"

% The negative response -
% "[]"
% FIXME
%
noexpr "<U005E><U005B><U006E><U004E><U005D><U002E><U002A>"
END LC_MESSAGES

I don't know how is 'yes' and 'no' in Kaingang, I asked to responsible for "Aboriginal Web" project, and I am waiting his answer.

But I believe that is good for tests.

thx for help Adi Roiban

New kgp_file with LC_ : copy "pt_BR".

thx.

the file looks good.

Still need to clarify YES and NO translations.

If the words / filenames are sorted ok with pt_BR we will just copy it for collation.

Hi Zedomel,

Have you found out the translation for yes and no?

Please add that information so that we can move forward.

Cheers

Hi Adi Roiban

I get today with Wilmar, the translate for yes and no.

YES: HÁV

NO: TŨNĨ

Remembering that in Kaingang does not has abbreviations, so it is not possible thing like [Y/n], it must show the entire answer like: [HÁV/tũnĩ].

Thanks for all your help.

Regardless,

José

Hi,

Is the setup of glibc locale complete?

Adi Roiban was help me with this, and he said that will finish it, but I am not sure if it was made.

Can you help me?

Thanks,

José.
