GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 500302
Urdu Language code
Last modified: 2008-02-04 18:37:34 UTC
What are we following with language codes in GNOME and l10n? According to ISO 639-1*, the code is "ur", but we have a "urd" in http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/urd/ * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urdu
Seems "urd" is the ISO 639-2 code for Urdu. But you're right, when there's a 639-1 code, it is preferred over the 639-2. As there aren't any translations currently, we should be able to make the change without any additional work.
this is the only change we have to made? Index: translation-teams.xml.in =================================================================== --- translation-teams.xml.in (revision 645) +++ translation-teams.xml.in (working copy) @@ -625,8 +625,8 @@ <_language id="uk">Ukrainian</_language> <coordinator id="mdziumanenko"/> </team> - <team id="urd"> - <_language id="urd">Urdu</_language> + <team id="ur"> + <_language id="ur">Urdu</_language> <coordinator id="x-muhammadwaqasalam"/> <webpage>http://www.urduweb.org/</webpage> </team> if so, it can be committed :)
It might be worth checking why we went with 'urd' in the first place: it sometimes happens that a language code has "sublanguages", but I can't seem to find any proof of that for Urdu. So, I'd just say to go ahead with committing this.
Seems this has already been committed. I also changed the Bugzilla l10n compnonent.

Really fixed in rev. 731.
