Inconsitency among LDF files #611

Closed pauloney closed 6 months ago

pauloney commented 7 months ago

We are parsing the gloss-*.ldf files for another project, a speller driver for multilingual documents and we noticed a few things that I would like to bring up:

All "master" LDF files contain the section "% BCP-47 compliant aliases" with the exception of two of them:

gloss-khmer.ldf gloss-nko.ldf

The majority of languages in Polyglossia are supported by Babel, but only 18 LDF files contain the "Babel aliases".

Any reason for these?

Oversight. Done at 56adc44abd48

gloss-nko.ldf

Here the BCP47 identifier and the language name are equal, so no need to set an alias.

The majority of languages in Polyglossia are supported by Babel, but only 18 LDF files contain the "Babel aliases".

Any reason for these?

We only need the alias if the babel name differs from the polyglossia name. I haven't checked with the recently added babel languages, do you know of cases we are missing?

pauloney commented 7 months ago

If they are needed only in the case the names differ, then there is nothing missing. The whole situation is the following:

This is the list of the 62 missing the Babel aliases:

gloss-afrikaans.ldf gloss-albanian.ldf gloss-amharic.ldf gloss-arabic.ldf gloss-armenian.ldf gloss-asturian.ldf gloss-basque.ldf gloss-belarusian.ldf gloss-bengali.ldf gloss-bosnian.ldf gloss-breton.ldf gloss-bulgarian.ldf gloss-catalan.ldf gloss-chinese.ldf gloss-coptic.ldf gloss-croatian.ldf gloss-czech.ldf gloss-danish.ldf gloss-divehi.ldf gloss-dutch.ldf gloss-esperanto.ldf gloss-estonian.ldf gloss-finnish.ldf gloss-galician.ldf gloss-georgian.ldf gloss-hebrew.ldf gloss-hindi.ldf gloss-icelandic.ldf gloss-interlingua.ldf gloss-italian.ldf gloss-japanese.ldf gloss-kannada.ldf gloss-korean.ldf gloss-lao.ldf gloss-latvian.ldf gloss-lithuanian.ldf gloss-macedonian.ldf gloss-malayalam.ldf gloss-marathi.ldf gloss-mongolian.ldf gloss-occitan.ldf gloss-piedmontese.ldf gloss-polish.ldf gloss-punjabi.ldf gloss-romanian.ldf gloss-romansh.ldf gloss-russian.ldf gloss-sanskrit.ldf gloss-slovak.ldf gloss-swedish.ldf gloss-syriac.ldf gloss-tamil.ldf gloss-telugu.ldf gloss-thai.ldf gloss-tibetan.ldf gloss-turkish.ldf gloss-turkmen.ldf gloss-ukrainian.ldf gloss-urdu.ldf gloss-uyghur.ldf gloss-vietnamese.ldf gloss-welsh.ldf

Out of these I can see that Babel has the same name -- and LDF support -- for 37:

afrikaans.ldf albanian.ldf basque.ldf belarusian.ldf bosnian.ldf breton.ldf bulgarian.ldf catalan.ldf croatian.ldf czech.ldf danish.ldf dutch.ldf esperanto.ldf estonian.ldf finnish.ldf galician.ldf georgian.ldf hebrew.ldf icelandic.ldf interlingua.ldf italian.ldf japanese.ldf latvian.ldf lithuanian.ldf macedonian.ldf mongolian.ldf occitan.ldf piedmontese.ldf polish.ldf romanian.ldf romansh.ldf slovak.ldf swedish.ldf thai.ldf turkish.ldf vietnamese.ldf welsh.ldf

And these have support via the Locale -- ini files:

gloss-amharic.ldf gloss-arabic.ldf gloss-armenian.ldf gloss-asturian.ldf gloss-bengali.ldf gloss-chinese.ldf gloss-coptic.ldf gloss-hindi.ldf gloss-kannada.ldf gloss-korean.ldf gloss-lao.ldf gloss-malayalam.ldf gloss-marathi.ldf gloss-punjabi.ldf gloss-russian.ldf gloss-sanskrit.ldf gloss-syriac.ldf gloss-tamil.ldf gloss-telugu.ldf gloss-tibetan.ldf gloss-turkmen.ldf gloss-ukrainian.ldf gloss-urdu.ldf gloss-uyghur.ldf

So the only one really missing is:

gloss-divehi.ldf

but this one does NOT have Babel support.

jbezos commented 7 months ago

gloss-divehi.ldf

but this one does NOT have Babel support.

There is a locale ini file for Divehi, too.

pauloney commented 7 months ago

Javier, what file is it? I have not been able to locate it.

jbezos commented 7 months ago

Under /TeXLive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel/locale/dv. Maybe your system needs an update.

jspitz commented 7 months ago

So nothing to do if I didn't misunderstand your argumentation.

pauloney commented 7 months ago

Correct!
