Description Thomas Thurman 2008-02-04 16:37:27 UTC 
Urdu has an ISO 639-2 code of "ur". As with all languages which have an ISO 639-2 code, it also has an ISO 639-3 code; the code for Urdu is "urd".

It appears to be GNOME policy (I can't see it written explicitly on lgo, but it seems to be implied) that the ISO 639-2 code should be used where it exists. Nevertheless, both "ur" and "urd" are used throughout GNOME[*]. We need to pick one or the other.

Places we use "ur":
 http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gtk%2B/trunk/po/ur.po?view=markup
 http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gtk%2B/trunk/po-properties/ur.po?view=markup
 http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-desktop/trunk/po/ur.po?view=markup

Places we use "urd":
 the component code in Bugzilla (as in this bug report)
 http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/urd

[*] Not that we actually have very much in Urdu anyway, which is a pretty sad state of affairs since it's the twentieth largest language in the world and the national language of Pakistan).
