AW: [wp-polyglots] catalan locale on wordpress.org

Thu Jan 10 07:02:20 GMT 2008

Hello,

I think harmonization is good, as far as it does not conflict with localisation. The german locale Site de.wordpress.org uses the country name, because there are (or could be) other localisations in the same language (german) from other countries (i.e. Austria, Switzerland).  If the site title were "German", this would be missleading. On the other side, the catalan locale Site uses the language name, because this is the localisation for all catalan speaking countries (including Spain, France, Andorra and Italy), there would never be another catalan locale. There is a big difference between a language such as German with 100 Million native speakers and a language such as Catalan with under 10 Million native speakers. I think this difference at the site title is correct. 

Best Regards,

Francesc

  Sorry to be a pain guys, but maybe we should try a harmonization of the locale sites? I for one am +1 on the use of local wording. But how about agreeing on either language or country/region? If possible, of course.

  In my opinion language should be the denominator as WordPress should be a global effort in different languages, not specific for different countries. If I go to wp.org, I would look for WordPress in another language than English, not for WordPress from another country or region. 

  Whatever your stance on this, I would appreciate it if da.wordpress.org could be changed to "Dansk" instead of "WordPress DK". 

  Cheers,

  René

    I see no way to change the name of this blog, I would like to change at the 
    > blog title "Catalan" and put instead "Català" (which is the catalan word for
    > the catalan language). For example there is a "WordPress | Deutschland" (not
    > "WordPress | Germany").

    Changed.

    Happy translating,
    Nikolay.
