Issue 20076: Add UTF-8 locale aliases (original) (raw)

The makelocalealias.py ignores UTF-8 mapping. Expected that this encoding is available for all locales. After enabling UTF-8 mapping in makelocalealias.py most aliases are optimized out except following:

• 'be_bg.utf8': 'bg_BG.UTF-8',
• 'c.utf8': 'en_US.UTF-8',
• 'en_dl.utf8': 'en_DL.UTF-8',
• 'en_zw.utf8': 'en_ZS.UTF-8',
• 'ks_in@devanagari.utf8': 'ks_IN.UTF-8@devanagari',
• 'pa_pk.utf8': 'pa_PK.UTF-8',
• 'sd_in@devanagari.utf8': 'sd_IN.UTF-8@devanagari',
• 'sr_yu.utf8': 'sr_RS.UTF-8',
• 'sr_yu.utf8@cyrillic': 'sr_RS.UTF-8',
• 'te_in.utf8': 'te_IN.UTF-8',
• 'zh_sg.utf8': 'zh_SG.UTF-8',

Some of them maps to other country (en_zw.utf8 to en_ZS.UTF-8, sr_yu.utf8 to sr_RS.UTF-8) and these mappings are different from base mappings (en_zw to en_ZW.ISO8859-1, sr_yu to sr_RS.UTF-8@latin). The devanagari mappings just maps illformed locales. c.utf8 is yet one special case. Other mappings have no base entity without encoding.

Here is a patch which enables UTF-8 mapping in makelocalealias.py and adds all these mappings to locale alias table.
