[sword-devel] eBible.org repository refresh complete

[David Haslam]

I installed Xiphos 4.0.3 for Windows after downloading it from SourceForge. 
NB. The new release was not yet featured in the home page for xiphos.org

Two observations for Xiphos 4.0.3, after adding the eBible.org FTP
repository.

1. For Biblical Text modules, a visit to the language branch called
"Unknown" lists 12 modules.
It would seem that the languages list in locales.conf lack a few entries.
It should be easy enough for Karl to add these after checking ethnologue,
etc.

Aside: Might it be an improvement to have "Unknown" placed at the top of the
languages list?
Making it more noticeable would potentially lead to faster feedback to the
developers in future.


2. The language name at the top of the modules list begins with an
apostrophe.
The language is displayed as 'Auhelawa.
In locales.conf the entry is kud.en='Auhelawa
The bug is that the branch expand/contract control is missing for this
language!
I guess the presence of the leading apostrophe somehow messes with how the
module manager UI interacts with the language name.
btw. The actual module "KUD (kud2008)" shows up under "Unknown".

NB. There's a similar kind of entry in locales.conf for alu.en='Are'are
No modules for this, but I thought it sensible to search for any more
leading apostrophes.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some unrelated errors in locales.conf
This line struck me as a contender:
azj-Cyrl=آذربایجان

Best regards,

David
