Re: [docbook-apps] Serbian Latin localization not found on rendering (xsl stylesheets 1.66.1)

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

This is a bug in the sr_Latn.xml file.  The value of the language attribute
in that file should be "sr_latn" so that the lowercase matching can work.  I
just checked in the change to CVS.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Serbian Latin localization not found on rendering
(xsl stylesheets 1.66.1)

Hi group.
When trying to render DocBook documents (say, article) that has lang
attribute set to "sr_Latn", I get output as if that attribute is set to
"sr", that is, style sheets do not find that localization and use a
fallback (sr). After doing some tracing, i think that problem might be
in the following segment of common/i10n.xsl (lines 68-70 in
docbook-xsl-1.66.1 package)

----- start of inserted text ------
<xsl:variable name="language" select="translate($mc-language,
                                         'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
                                         'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')"/>
------ end of inserted text ------

which (if I understand correctly), lowercases language name to find its
common elements localization in $LANG.xml file. In sr_Latn.xml, language
is identified as language="sr_Latn"; however, if I change it to
language="sr_latn", it gets found, and common elements output is correct.
I also tried some older xsl style sheets packages (which have sr as
"Serbian in Cyrillic Script" and sr_Latn as "Serbian in Latin Script")
and found the same problem in all of them.
Is this fix (lowercasing language name in LANG.xml) valid (not breaking
IANA standard etc)?

TIA, Branislav Jovanovic.
