Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Localisation gone wild

This reminds me a bit of Android actually. I use an app called custom 
locale to get around the frustrating force-locale issue in order to 
force various apps to show up in Gaelic but that aside, it has a bizarre 
impact on the weather app. It cause the app to fluctuare between English 
and Gaelic city/town names. Some days I get "Glasgow", some days I get 
"Glaschu" - even though AFAIK the app hasn't been localized (just the 
standard weather app that comes with my phone). There seems to be no 
pattern to it. I suspect it, as the behaviour you described, is probably 
dependent on more than one factor (i.e. beyond just telling the system 
that it's locale xx-YY). Which is part of what makes this so frustrating.

There's of course also the scenario of a locale you cannot select on any 
OS but which has a LO localisation. Like Oromo, Kashmiri or Bodo which I 
cannot find in the locales on offer in Windows 7 but which have LO 
localizations.
