According to the langpack-locales package there does not exist any Swahili locale, neither sw_TZ, nor any other sw_* locale. The locale data is needed for any system to actually use that language.
I can create a locale for Swahili for you, but would need the help of native speakers to translate the strings. The following strings are needed: int_curr_symbol (ex.: USD) currency_symbol (ex.: $) mon_decimal_point (ex.: .) mon_thousands_sep (ex.: ,) abday (ex.: Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat) day (ex.: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday) abmon (ex.: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec) mon (ex.: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December) d_t_fmt (ex.: %a %d %b %Y %r %Z) d_fmt (ex.: %m/%d/%Y) t_fmt (ex.: %r) t_fmt_ampm (ex.: %I:%M:%S %p) am_pm (ex.: AM, PM) date_fmt (ex.: %a %b %e %H:$M:%S %Z %Y) yesexpr (ex.: ^[yY].*) noexpr (ex.: ^[nN].*) yesstr (ex.: Yes) nostr (ex.: No) Paperformat (A4?): height, width (297, 210) Measurement system: metric or US? name_fmt name_miss (ex.: Miss.) name_mr (ex.: Mr.) name_mrs (ex.: Mrs.) name_ms (ex.: Ms.) postal_fmt (ex.: %c%N%T%N%s %h %e %r%N%b%N%d%N%f%N%a%N) country_name (ex.: Tanzania) lang_name (ex.: Swahili) tel_int_fmt (ex.: +%c (%a) %l) tel_dom_fmt (ex.: (%a) %l) int_select (ex. 00) int_prefix (ex. 0) Plus, I would need the complete alphabet and the correct sorting order for Swahili. Information about the format strings can be found here: http://std.dkuug.dk/JTC1/sc22/WG20/docs/n897-14652w25.pdf If anyone can provide me the data listed above for Swahili, I can make a locale and send it to upstream. -- Swahili support broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237130 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
