Sorry for the confusion I caused. I had 2 locales.d directories on my system, and the wrong one was used in BibleTime. It works now.
I checked and fixed all locales. Problems remaining are: -es: the known long booknames in Paul's letters -id: the book of Judges is called "hakim-hakim", which will not parse. Should I rename to "hakim"? -po: locale broken despite fixes. Very slow parsing, why? A native maintainer needs to fix this. Should not be included in the release in its current state. All other locales work well afaict, now also ru and uk. A bonus: even the latin locale with "Ad Corinthios II" works! There must really be AI hidden in a corner of the parser. ;) Let me know how to handle the last open issues and the locales will be ready to go. =) Martin Am Mittwoch, 18.
