asterisk users - May 2004 - Psssst. The US is asleep - let's talk intern ationalization !!!

And let's also spell things properly!  Like 'internationalisation'
...'Weasels have got into your phone system' instead of 'gotten into
your phone system...'

And 'please press the hash key..' instead of 'pound key'

There should probably be en_uk, en_us, en_ca, en_za, en_nz, en_oz, en_ie and
en_in etc to allow each English-speaking country to localise prompts.

Just my two pence worth!

We certainly need to look into country variants.
Since we have learned quite a lot, I think we're ready to go for en_us and
en_uk Also to let the friends on the other side of the Baltic sea add se_fi :-)

Let's investigate adding that.

"I say tomaaaato, you say tomatooo" :-)

En_us: "Monkeys have captured your PBX and left by subway."
En_uk: "Monkeys have captured your PBX and left by underground."

Or?

To further complicate things, there really should be a few more categories
for all the different kinds of English spoken in the us:
en_us_tx (Texas)
en_us_mn (Minnesota)
en_us_ny (New York)
en_us_ca (California)
etc...
;P

P.S.-who says us Americans sleep?!

How about having a number of default language (locale) names, but allow
the user to define his own. For example some people might want to offer
the option of male and female voices for English.
