new updated locale file for pap_CW

Hi!

we are working on the pap_CW locale file and now it is needed to update it.

You can read more about our work here http://opencuracao.com/2015/11/new-version-of-the-spellchecker/

We already tested the new locale version on our local installations of Ubuntu.

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

The upstream bug is still unattended, and as regards Ubuntu, it will have to wait a bit, since the locales package is about to be moved from the langpack-locales source package to the glibc source package.

Then, when the pap_CW locale is available in Ubuntu, the language pack will be created as soon as the pap translation coverage is sufficient.

Great! thanks for you help!

two questions, how to know when the pap translation coverage is sufficient? which percentage have to be translated?

meanwhile, Is it possible to test our translations in our Ubuntu installation? how?

> could you describe the changes you actually made ?

Hi!

we added new contact details, completed list of months, months abbreviations, data and time formats, decimal_point, thousands_sep, currency_symbol, yesexpr, noexpr.

These changes are the result of a working group based in Curaçao. The group is lead by Foundation Open Curaçao and group of linguistics specialised on Papiamento pap_CW

If you need more info, just ask me.

Thanks for you help!

this locale file looks significantly different from the one that's in current git. when you write a file like this and change just about everything, it makes it extremely difficult for us to review & merge.

can you instead do:
- grab latest file from git:
  https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/locales/pap_CW;hb=HEAD
- change *only* the fields that you want to update
- make *no* other changes to whitespace, comments, etc...

then upload that file here for us to look at.
