No. ok_locales doesn't support nearly as many different options as ok_languages. ok_locales *only* supports the bold selections on that config generator. The fundamental problem is that ok_locales works by looking at what character encoding you're using. But, for example, English, French, and Spanish generally use the same character set, commonly ISO-8859-1. Thus, there's no way for ok_locales to get into fine details like the difference between French and Spanish. To it, they're the same, they're both English. Only languages with comprehensively different character sets can be detected this way, like English vs Japaneese. (note: theoretically it should be able to detect Arabic too, but I don't think there's support for that yet) ok_languages on the other hand analyzes the content of the text, and can detect things like the difference between German and English. There are groupings of letters that aren't common in english, but common in german, like "sch". But of course, I've explained that much to you before. > If I select that I want to only exclude from scoring say "en de es" > and run the configuration, then it generates the following: > > "ok_languages es" > "ok_locales all" > > What happened to the other two options en and de? I don't know. It works for me. I run the script and select "English" "French" and "Spanish" and I get: ok_languages en de es ok_locales en Perhaps there's a bug in your browser's javascript handling? I used firefox 2.0.0.2/win32.
