The ISO-639 code for the Czech language is "cs". Note the lower case. <plug> The best solution to cope with ISO-3166 codes being reassigned is to keep up-to-date with the standard (and/or use one copy of the standard). This is one point of the iso-codes package: to avoid multiple programs within Debian / Linux having inconsistent copies (as is the case now). Note this is important for Debian stable in the future: at current timescales, it will be important to update the ISO codes lists in Debian stable to cope with new assignments, without requiring backports of Gnome, KDE, Mozilla, Apache, ... iso-codes localises the changes to an easily auditable place. </plug> Regards, Alastair -- Alastair McKinstry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Key fingerprint = CD45 260A 4546 C3C0 F595 F0F6 4132 BF90 2A38 5C57 He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. - --Thomas Paine
