poEdit doesn't support all languages

[huftis@…]

I'm translating some programs to 'Norwegian Nynorsk',
and noticed that poEdit doesn't support this language,
and not 'Norwegian Bokmål' either. The official ISO
639 two-letter language codes for these languages are:

Norwegian Nynorsk: nn
Norwegian Bokmål: nb

(The language 'Norwegian' is supported, but Norwegian
consists of two official languages, Nynorsk and
Bokmål, and the language code 'no' should be
considered 'deprecated' (it should still be supported
in poEdit, though).)

See <URL:  http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-
2/englangn.html > for a complete (and official) list
of a language codes. There's probably other languages
not supported in poEdit.

Thanks for your bug report! The snapshot of iso639 was taken
at the time there was only no code. I'll update the table
accordingly.

I don't understand what exactly do you mean by "doesn't
support this language", though. There are only two places in
poEdit where the language is used: one of them is in
Settings dialog where you can fill in the language for
solely informative purposes and where you can enter
arbitrary string, you are not limited to predefined "known"
languages. The other is when the translation memory is
initialized, in which case you'll be asked to manually
choose the language. Neither of these IMHO qualify as
fatal... Are there any more problems that I'm missing?

Yes, this is not a serious problem. But it would
be nice if it was fixed, anyway.

The other is when the translation memory is
initialized, in which case you'll be asked
to manually choose the language.

I guess I've found another bug, then. When I click
the dotted square button (Win 98), I can enter any text,
but when I press 'Enter' (or a mouse button), the
text disappears, and no list-item is added. This
happens even if I write a 'valid' language code.

This seems to be a bug with the input
control/widget used, as the same problem is apparent
in the 'Paths' and 'Keywords' tabs in the
'Preferences/Settings?' dialogue (BTW, the dialogue
title and menu-item for this dialogue should be
the same).

Thanks, everything will be fixed in the next release (i.e.
updated ISO 639 table, editable listbox widget and catalog
settings dialog's titlebar).

thanks,
