Created attachment 27444 [details] The orthography/UTF-8 of the Central Sama language (SML) Our team is just starting up translation work concerning computers and needs our orthography file to be adapted into GNOME. The language code is SML from the Philippines. Attached is the accepted orthography for the language. Please contact if anything more is required or if my format of the file is unacceptable. From, L.S.
Thanks for the patch. Generally looks OK, although I cannot confirm the actual orthography. (Please consider putting an alphabet chart online somewhere, or write a Wikipedia page about the language and its orthography.) Quick review: * Are you sure about the languages code? It seems that there are quite a few languages named Sama/Sinama, and they seem to be related. Please make sure you are talking about this language: http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=sml * It's not a good idea to claim copyright to a URL. Please change the copyright line to either an individual, or a legally established organization. * If this is indeed the language with the ISO 639-3 code "sml", please use the official ISO 639-3 name (Central Sama) in the data file. You can add a comment that it's also known as Central Sinama. * We always include all Basic Latin letter (A-Z and a-z) in our orthographies using the Latin script. Please include C, F, etc in the orth file, and add a comment somewhere listing the letters that are not used in the orthography. Something like "C, F, [list all the letters here], and Z are not used." * Specially since this is a minority language, it would be a good idea to add a line with contact info for a source person. Something like "Information from Firstname Lastname <email@example.org>". * Your use of U+02C8 MODIFIER LETTER VERTICAL LINE may need a bit more explanation (since it's not available in every font). Would you explain what it's used for, and how did you conclude that this certain Unicode character should be used (compared to similar looking characters)?
would be nice if you can rework against comment#1.
