Do I need to add a new locale or do something else? Any reason why free-form language tags are not allowed for CTL text?I found https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81714 which answers the last question somehow (though it is not clear what is exactly needed). My main question about supporting Jawi is still unanswered.
Seems I overlooked your previous mail. Anyway, if this is about supporting the same language in different scripts we can sort that out by using proper language tags and hard categorizing the CTL one. However, the Malay language group is confusing to me. Are we talking about "Standard Malay [zsm]" https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/zsm written in Latin and Arabic script, or any of the various languages listed under the [msa] macrolanguage code there (the macrolanguage code being the [ms] 639-1 code we currently have as tag, which actually is not "a language"), or "Malay (individual language) [zlm]" https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/zlm Eike -- LibreOffice Calc developer.
