Did something happen to bugzilla.freedesktop.org? The text for this bug seems
to have disappeared, and it does not recognize any of my older accounts.
Refiling the text:
X is missing various Indian locales as of version 6.8.2. The symptom is that
when an Xprogram is launched in one of the missing locales, an error message
is generated, e.g., with
env LANG=or_IN gedit
I get the error messages
(gedit:2635): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib
(gedit:2635): Gdk-WARNING **: cannot set locale modifiers
I have fixed this for or_IN by modifying compose.dir and locale.{alias,dir}
by trial and error, but due to lack of documentation, I am not sure if it is
correctly done.
As of now, the following Indian language locales exist:
Bengali
Gujarati
Hindi
Punjabi
Tamil
New locales need to be added at least for
Assamese as_IN.UTF-8
Kannada kn_IN.UTF-8
Malayalam ml_IN.UTF-8
Marathi mr_IN.UTF-8
Oriya or_IN.UTF-8
Telugu te_IN.UTF-8
Urdu ur_IN.UTF-8

Hello, The locales in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/{compose.dir,locale.dir,locale.alias} are still missing many Indian languages, even where these exist in Unicode. The symptom is a warning message when trying to run under one of these locales. E.g., env LANG=or_IN gedit gives the error message: (gedit:2600): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib (gedit:2600): Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers For a properly installed X locale, none such warning should be generated. I have fixed this locally for Oriya (or) by trial and error, but in the absence of documentation on writing X locales, I cannot be sure that my fix is correct. The available Indian language locales in 6.8.2 are: Bengali (bn_IN.UTF-8) Gujarati (gu_IN.UTF-8) Hindi ISCII (hi_IN.ISCII-DEV) Hindi (hi_IN.UTF-8) Punjabi (pa_in.UTF-8) Tamil (ta_IN.UTF8) At least the following additional locales should exist: Assamese (as_IN.UTF-8) Kannada (kn_IN.UTF-8) Malayalam (ml_IN.UTF-8) Marathi (mr_IN.UTF-8) Oriya (or_IN.UTF-8) Telugu (te_IN.UTF-8) Urdu (ur_IN.UTF-8) A similar bug was filed last year with Redhat bugzilla, and apparently some action was taken.
