    Folks,

    A few days ago we talk over the IRC about the need
    of including support for some missing languages in
    Abiword.

    I have put togeter a list of languages that Abiword,
    Microsoft Office and Open Office support. The table is
    here:

    http://www.softcatala.org/~jmas/abi-langsupported.htm

    (if you see any mistake, let me know)

    Languages that we are missing in Abiword and they are
    supported by Open Office and Word and I think we should
    support are:

    Albanian, sq, sq_al
    Azeri, az
    Bengali, bn, bn_bd
    Croatian, hr, hr_hr
    Estonian, et, et_ee
    Faeroese, fo, fo_fo
    Kannada, kn, kn_in
    Kashmiri, ks, ks_in
    Nepali, ne, ne_NP
    Oriya, or, or_in
    Punjabi, pa, pa_in
    Rhaeto-Romanic, rm
    Tamil, ta, ta_in
    Telugu, te, te_in
    Sanskrit, sa, sa_in
    Serbian, sr
    Sindhi, sd, sd_pk
    Uzbek, uz, uz_tj

    Konkani, kok (do we support three letter iso codes?)
    Manipuri, mni (do we support three letter iso codes?)

    Languages that are not supported by Word or
    Open Office but I think we should support since there
    are minor languages in Europe and they are in use:

    Occitan, oc, oc_FR
    Breton, br, br_FR
    Corsican, co, co_fr
    Cornish, kw, kw_gb
    Frisian, fy, fy_de
    Sardinian, sc, sc_it
    Macedonian, mk, mk_gr
    Northern Sami, se, se_fi

    Well, comments, fixes and missing languages that you think that
    we should support are welcome. Once, I have the definitive list with all the
    comments, I will commit the necessary changes to support them.

    I'm also working on the country-based language dialects, for example
    the Spanish variations that you can have of the Spanish, German
    Arabic and other languages. I still need some days to finish this.

    Thanks,

    Jordi,
