Re: Fwd: Arabic Language code confict (related to: KDE 3 Language codes)

[Mohammed Yousif <mhdyousif at gmx dot net>]

I think Mr Andy did a great job
but we still haven't our own flag

>Hello Isam, I've just made some workarounds in kxkb for "ar" arabic to take
>default flag from "C" locale and added it to the fixed name list
ar now takes the C flag which is not good (but better that Argentina ;))
>(temporary - I still don't like this idea).
I also don't like this idea

I have modified the file kdebase/kxkb/pixmap.cpp
this file is the reponsible for displaying flags for each two letters code
plz, have a look at it it's attached and read the comments there
also compare it with the one on kde cvs now

you will notice that we are not the only people that have this problem
also Hellenic (Greek) people don't use a country code (gr) to represent their 
language (Hellenic) , they use the two letters code 'el' for their code and 
let it take the flag from Greek entry (gr)
you will see at this file that I made arabic (represented by 'ar') take the 
flag from an entry called (al) so we can put the Arab League flag on it
waiting for your comments

maybe there are more languages that have the same problem (I think farsi will 
have it cuz they use the two letters 'fa' and their flag will be taken form 
Iran entry)
