=== Maintainers to updating LINGUAS? ===
=== Defining Minimum Criteria for I18N Support ===


Xavier Conde Rueda [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2008-June/msg00023.html started a discussion] if maintainers should update LINGUAS file or not:
Rahul Bhalerao [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2008-July/msg00020.html defines] criteria for language support:


"''I think I'd rather ask the mantainers instead of doing it myself, since this file is a sensible part of the building process and I'm not able to build each module myself to test the change. However, even if the change is not very difficult to apply, audit-viewer maintainer considers it's better to wait until release time''."
"I think the term Language Support has been used in more vague sense
so far (please correct me if I am wrong).  Also there has been a
difference between a language being supported technically and a
language that is supported with all the localization. Thus there has
been a need to define the terms with more clarity. I think it would be
good if we have two different sections for a language support namely,
i18n and l10n."

Defining Minimum Criteria for I18N Support

Rahul Bhalerao defines criteria for language support:

"I think the term Language Support has been used in more vague sense so far (please correct me if I am wrong). Also there has been a difference between a language being supported technically and a language that is supported with all the localization. Thus there has been a need to define the terms with more clarity. I think it would be good if we have two different sections for a language support namely, i18n and l10n."
