  • Next message: Dom Lachowicz: "Commit: ispell and enchant support both nn and no"

    Someone then please explain what needs to be done, or
    get the Norwegians to all speak one language.

    As a reality, we are running into no_NO locales that
    don't sync up with our spellcheckers and other tools.

    It looks like we need to support at least these 3
    locales:

    nn_NO
    nb_NO
    no_NO

    And I'm not sure how no_NO and nn_NO differ from each
    other, as I've had it explained to me that no_NO is
    "Norwegian Nynorsk" by native Norwegians.
