347632 - [fa-ir] is not mapped to Persian/Iran

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Behnam Esfahbod [:zwnj]]

[fa-ir] is not mapped to Persian/Iran.  AFAIK many servers support it.  Now just [fa] is set and there's no country selection for it.

Also with the rapid growth of IT in Afghanistan, their localization has been started and soon they need their [fa-af] code everywhere.  It's better to let servers know which Persian and location is requested by the client.

BTW, has fa-af localization for  FF begun?

Axel, is adding entries to regionNames.properties on the branch possible at this point?

Comment 5

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

No, all deadlines passed, and this is really just a nit that shows up in a rarely seen dialog, and then only for the fa-IR and fa-AF locales. Not that it even adds Afghanistan. I'd had to be convinced that we can resolve the RTL issues in that dialog, too, first.

[Behnam Esfahbod [:zwnj]]

No problem.  Fortunately [fa] works for now.  So I change version/target fields to trunk/mozilla1.9alpha.

But, would you please start support of Afghanistan?  [fa-af] should be added to this list too.

I was surprised by how few entries there are in regionNames.properties: 76 out of a total of 243 in ISO-3166. I've opened bug 347889 calling for a thorough update.
