[Sugar-devel] Language Control Panel

[Sebastian Silva]

Hi Tony, Sam,

Please don't discourage Tony's use of Ubuntu, it is important for Sugar 
Labs to have full support of popular GNU/Linux distributions and Ubuntu 
is one of them.

Regarding the difference in handling of locales, indeed, Fedora is 
different than Debian based distros.

Sugar has a hack to deal for when Fedora doesn't support Dari or Guarani 
locales. It should not be in Sugar.

In the case of Debian based distros (e.g. Ubuntu) locales need to be 
activated explicitly with system tools (it's a setting in /etc) - in 
OLPC flavored Fedora, non-preselected locales are remove at image build 
time.

This bears more research and I would like to contribute so that Sugar 
doesn't assume Fedora or has hacks like this for language support.

Regards,

Sebastian
