| 1 | There is some confusion about the format of numeral fields;
|
|---|
| 2 | it seems to me it is field dependant, as fields
|
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 | LOCALE_ILANGUAGE and LOCALE_IDEFAULTLANGUAGE use hexadecimal,
|
|---|
| 5 | while LOCALE_ICOUNTRY, LOCALE_IDEFAULTCOUNTRY, LOCALE_IDEFAULTCODEPAGE
|
|---|
| 6 | and LOCALE_IDEFAULTANSICODEPAGE use decimal.
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | I'll appreciate info on the others numeric fields; and a confirmation
|
|---|
| 9 | about the numeric fields I told above.
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | For the alphanumeric fields the encoding used is the one used by MS-Windows
|
|---|
| 12 | for that language (the one in LOCALE_IDEFAULTANSICODEPAGE).

| 16 | Here is how I completed some fields:
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | * month/weekdays names: from the locales definitions of glibc and Java.
|
|---|
| 19 | * native monetary symbol: from the locales definitions of glibc.
|
|---|
| 20 | * monetary international symbols: from documents of my bank :)
|
|---|
| 21 | * DOS code page: from MS-DOS manuals, and some notes from IBM PC-DOS Y2K update
|
|---|
| 22 | * Windows code page: from Wine definitions of cp125[1234567]
|
|---|
| 23 | * Country abbreviation: From iso 3 letters country codes
|
|---|
| 24 | * Country Number: it seems to be the country code used for telephone nubers
|
|---|
| 25 | (maybe Windows use it for PPP dialers etc ?)
|
|---|
| 26 | * Language abbreviation: it is the iso 2 letter language code + a third
|
|---|
| 27 | letter to identify the country.
|
|---|
| 28 | * Language number: from the include files (*.h) of the FreeType librairies
|
|---|
| 29 | (freetype is a library to manipulate True Type fonts, and those TTF
|
|---|
| 30 | have several strings telling copyright, face name, etc; the strings
|
|---|
| 31 | can be in several languages and for Microsoft platforms the Windows
|
|---|
| 32 | language code numbers are used to identify language).
|
|---|
| 33 | Look at ole/ole2nls.c for a comprehensive list of language code
|
|---|
| 34 | numbers and iso 2 letters names.
|
|---|
| 35 | * Calendar type: I have not info on it, but I guess it is to identify
|
|---|
| 36 | if the calendar is a gregorian one, or another (eg arabic traditional,
|
|---|
| 37 | etc). As I have, for months names etc, only info on gragorian
|
|---|
| 38 | calendars I set it to "1" for all files, as it seems to indicate
|
|---|
| 39 | a gregorian calendar.
