| There is some confusion about the format of numeral fields; | |
| it seems to me it is field dependant, as fields | |
| LOCALE_ILANGUAGE and LOCALE_IDEFAULTLANGUAGE use hexadecimal, | |
| while LOCALE_ICOUNTRY, LOCALE_IDEFAULTCOUNTRY, LOCALE_IDEFAULTCODEPAGE | |
| and LOCALE_IDEFAULTANSICODEPAGE use decimal. | |
| I'll appreciate info on the others numeric fields; and a confirmation | |
| about the numeric fields I told above. | |
| For the alphanumeric fields the encoding used is the one used by MS-Windows | |
| for that language (the one in LOCALE_IDEFAULTANSICODEPAGE). | |

| Here is how I completed some fields: | |
| * month/weekdays names: from the locales definitions of glibc and Java. | |
| * native monetary symbol: from the locales definitions of glibc. | |
| * monetary international symbols: from documents of my bank :) | |
| * DOS code page: from MS-DOS manuals, and some notes from IBM PC-DOS Y2K update | |
| * Windows code page: from Wine definitions of cp125[1234567] | |
| * Country abbreviation: From iso 3 letters country codes | |
| * Country Number: it seems to be the country code used for telephone nubers | |
| (maybe Windows use it for PPP dialers etc ?) | |
| * Language abbreviation: it is the iso 2 letter language code + a third | |
| letter to identify the country. | |
| * Language number: from the include files (*.h) of the FreeType librairies | |
| (freetype is a library to manipulate True Type fonts, and those TTF | |
| have several strings telling copyright, face name, etc; the strings | |
| can be in several languages and for Microsoft platforms the Windows | |
| language code numbers are used to identify language). | |
| Look at ole/ole2nls.c for a comprehensive list of language code | |
| numbers and iso 2 letters names. | |
| * Calendar type: I have not info on it, but I guess it is to identify | |
| if the calendar is a gregorian one, or another (eg arabic traditional, | |
| etc). As I have, for months names etc, only info on gragorian | |
| calendars I set it to "1" for all files, as it seems to indicate | |
| a gregorian calendar. | |
