exemple - Why we need a tag?:<BR>
<BR>
For instance, if I want to translate Ubuntu (the Linux distribution) in order to allowed people to choose "Ortograf alternativ' during the install or update process of Ubuntu.<BR>
To do this I have to create a new translation team (directory):<BR><A href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu">https://launchpad.net/ubuntu</A><BR>
To do this I need an ISO-639-1 or ISO-639-2 code. Soon I will be able to use an ISO-639-3 or variant tag (if i have one), a bue print has been draft for it in the Ubuntu translation project (rosetta-launchpad): <BR><A href="https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/rosetta/+spec/language-variants-support">https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/rosetta/+spec/language-variants-support</A><BR>
I don't know the technical or political reasons behind that, but a language code is often required to be a part of a translation sortware project.<BR><br /><hr />Livres, DVDs, gadgets, musique et bien plus. <a href='http://magasiner.sympatico.msn.ca/content/shp/?ctid=8314,ptnrid=176,ptnrdata=1761027&tcode=Noel' target='_new'>Magasinez en ligne dès aujourd'hui avec Sympatico / MSN Magasiner!</a></body>
