Hello Tommi and everybody. First of all, sorry about the word "traduced" on the last email... I did't knew about the negative meaning of it... I should be used "tranlated". Thanks for the tip... =] ... and sorry about the "language crime" that i do with my english... =P
Well, actually we know that exists a lot of dialects spoken on Brazil and Latin America in general. The indians dialects don't fill nationals frontiers, generaly, although some countries accept some lenguages like officials. Guarani Nhandeva is a dialect sponked in some areas of south of Brazil Guarani, for example, is a national language on Paraguay. Or, in others words, an specific "guarani" is considered an official language on Paraguay. It seems, to us, that they'll wants to use gn code. So, talking with Moreno (another guy from the translation team) about the code we decided to use gn_BR instead of gn because don't looks fair use the "general code" when there is a lot of "guaranis dialects" spoken on latin america. I don't know if i answer the questions. Sorry if not. Matheus...
