[sword-devel] SWORD locales.d/locales.conf

[Evgen Kucherov]

Hello SWORD community and Troy :)


While working on organizing language list of available modules for Ezra 
Bible App frontend, I decided to convert SWORD locale list 
(https://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/locales.d/locales.conf) to JSON 
at building time. I'm also adding some extra details about languages 
(Localized language names are available from International Components 
for Unicode (ICU) through Intl API 
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/DisplayNames) 
and language type (living, extinct, historic, constructed) info can be 
pulled from ISO-639-3 standard).


I have the following questions:

1. What is the purpose of locales.d/locales.conf? Is it intended to be 
the complete list of all the languages of all the modules available 
through SWORD repositories?

2. If so, I found experimentally that there are few languages that are 
missing from locale.conf:

      ['cek', 'cth', 'dnj', 'esg', 'iqw', 'izz', 'ncq']

Should I create a patch?

3. There are some entries that are not comply to to BCP 47 and RFC 4647 
standards as described in Lang section of 
http://wiki.crosswire.org/DevTools:conf_Files. Are those just a legacy 
entries?
