[Language packages] Locale support uncomplete for language territories variants
I have installed the Spanish (Mexico) es_MX.UTF-8
locale, but nor thunderbird-i18n-es-ar
, neither thunderbird-i18n-es-es
got installed. While firefox-i18-es-mx
and gimp-help-es
(for example) were.
I guess the reason is that es_MX
locale triggers es
and es-mx
i18 packages installation, but fails to install es-es
or any other variant (es-ar
for example, which is the closest match : Argentina's Spanish has more in common with Mexico than Spain has).
Somehow, some magic is needed to match a variant (es-ar
or es-es
) to the installed locale (es_MX
) when none of the exact one (es-mx
) or the base one (es
) are available. Ubuntu and Mint do it ;)
This is Manjaro Gnome 18.0.4-rc
