add FAQ about fallback for non-existant locales #41

Closed patch closed 8 years ago

patch commented 8 years ago

Users occasionally report that the wrong formatting is used for several non-existant locales including Mexican English (en-MX) and Brazilian Spanish (es-BR). We should document that since these locales don’t exist, they would fall back to English (en) and Spanish (es), respectively.

Note that I also plan on bringing up the issue to the CLDR Technical Committee that es-XX, where XX is any country within Latin America (419) should fall back to es-419 even if es-XX is not a valid locale. This would, however, require a new structure added to the LDML spec unless a locale was created for each combination of es with each remaining country within 419.

Thought I might be able to do this for you, but I had a couple of questions.

Thanks, Mike
