Besides that: the dispute about "Macedonia" relates to the name of the country, not to the name of the language. Nowhere in OOo we refer to a country named "Macedonia", here we are talking about a *language*. And the term "Macedonian" is absolutely correct. ISO uses "MACEDONIA, THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF" as the name of the country: http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements but is uses "Macedonian" as the name of the language: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php So - as the pseudonym of the poster says - it's just noise.

I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

Dr NoiZ seems to be a troll who does not have the guts to post under a real name, hence we should not leave to much food fore him here. ;-) HAPPY 2010!
