Thread:Support/CLDR and pt/Hamilton Abreu (5)

If I understood correctly Nike's input, then the "CLDR pt-PT" -> "MediaWiki pt" mapping is already done correctly in MediaWiki, so no issue there.

As for adopting the CLDR main language thingy in MediaWiki (i.e. having a separate "pt-PT", then fallbacking pt to pt-BR) and Siebrand's terms for getting it done, I don't regard it necessary. It's somewhat silly in itself, and as long as we're clear about what "pt" and "pt-br" mean in MediaWiki, (and we are) we should be fine. Anyone disagrees?

This means that the only open issues here would be:


 * a bug in extension Language Names (Version 1.7.1 (CLDR 1.7.1)), because it maps "CLDR pt" -> "MediaWiki pt" when, in fact, the mapping should be "CLDR pt-PT" -> "MediaWiki pt". If we all agree on this, I can follow it up (any special procedure for that?).
 * any future extensions resorting to CLDR may commit the same mapping error - I'd suggest we deal with that on a case-by-case basis, as they turn up. Anyone disagrees?
