1455257 - Add Burmese(my) to language groups

Status: REOPENED

(Core :: Internationalization, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Burmese (my) is currently missing from langGroups.properties
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/59a9a86553e9bfd9277202748ff791fd9bc0713b/intl/locale/langGroups.properties

I don't think any of the existing language groups can be applied to it.

We don't have langGroups anymore.

[Jonathan Kew [:jfkthame]]

The specific file langGroups.properties no longer exists, but we do still have "langGroups" in a small way; in particular, this is what drives the selection of "languages" (scripts, really) for which fonts can be specified in the Preferences / Fonts and Colors / Advanced dialog. Note that Burmese is not exposed there, so it's impossible to set script-specific font preferences for it.

That entire UI (and the underlying model) is overdue for replacement, but for the time being this is still a valid issue, I think, and Burmese users would potentially benefit from addressing it.
