    Hi. It's really cool that you want to translate
    AbiWord into Kelabit. This is exactly the sort of
    thing I'd love to seen done with AbiWord.
    There is a problem, however, in that ISO 639, the
    language code standard, does not have a code for
    Kelabit.

    On this page, you can see that the SIL have given the
    code KZI to Kelabit:
    http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=KZI

    And on this page you will see my AbiWord bug report/
    RFE for extending our language tags to support
    minority languages:
    http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3227

    Now just using the SIL code is not a permanent
    solution since it may some day conflict with an ISO
    code. But it may be worth using it for now so you
    can have Kelabit support, and doing something better
    later on.

    Andrew Dunbar.
