[sword-devel] locale handling

[Hugo van der Kooij]

Hi,

I dropped this issue on the gnomesword list but it seems to be sword 
instead.

If I use the regular locale setting of LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 the sword module 
does not recognize this. I have to set it to LAN=nl to make sword find the 
proper config file.

But various gnome applications do not like the short LANG settings and 
complain.

Can handling of the locale settings be changed to handle the common local 
settings in stead of relying on it to match an exact string?

So en.conf would be an match for en_GB.UTF-8 unless there is a more 
specific en_GB.conf file to override the en.conf settings.

Hugo.
