GENERAL
|
|
=======
|
|
In KDE 2 we added support for localization of dates, time, numbers and
|
|
money. KDE will use this when displaying such information, giving you
|
|
a feeling that KDE was written to fit your national standards. To make
|
|
this possible, we need to gather some information on your national
|
|
standards. Currently there is over 220 countries supported. If your
|
|
country is missing, please let us know.
|
|
|
|
HOW TO ADD INFORMATION
|
|
======================
|
|
First you have to write a file called "entry.desktop". This file will
|
|
describe your national standards. Please read the section below for
|
|
more information on that. Please use the file "country.template" as
|
|
template.
|
|
|
|
You will need a nice flag for your country. The size should be 21x14
|
|
pixels, and it should be called "flag.png".
|
|
|
|
To add your information, we need a two letter country code for you country.
|
|
Use http://www.tu-berlin.de/zrz/dienste/netz/mail/iso-3166.html as a guide.
|
|
|
|
Now you are done, and you can submit the files to KDE project by
|
|
sending a mail to Hans Petter Bieker <bieker@kde.org>. The files will
|
|
be added in the next release. Please include the country code in the
|
|
mail.
|
|
|
|
WHAT IS ENTRY.DESKTOP
|
|
=====================
|
|
entry.desktop is a file which defines a locale for a country. It's
|
|
stored the same way as the rest of the KDE configuration files. The
|
|
very first line should only contain "[KCM Locale]". The rest of the
|
|
file should contain one line for each of the entries below. Add "="
|
|
between the entry name and the value.
