LocalName for the Bosnian language

In the table of languages I have searched after an appropriate LocalName for the Bosnian language. But I can't find such a LocalName. On Wikipedia I found out, that the Bosnian language is related with the Croatian or Serbian language. Personally I have decided, that I can use for the Bosnian language the LocalName "Serbian" or "Croatian". What do you think?

Separate

Bosnian may be related to Serbian and Croatian, but it is a different language. It needs its own LocaleName, which is usually just 'Bosnian' in most software.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

LocalName=Bosnian

I am also of the same opinion as you regarding the Bosnian language. In the above table I find no suitable LocalName "Bosnian". If in the section [LanguageStrings] the LocalName "Bosnian" is used, it won't be detected. What should I do in this case?

EDIT: Is it sufficient if I define by myself the LocalName "Bosnian" in the section [LanguageStrings]?

Bosnian

If an app supports Bosnian, it supports Bosnian. Treat it as if the platform does as well, though it will have no effect right now. Once we have a Bosnian translation for the platform, it will work.

tomporary use of the code "Bosnian=Bosnian"

So I'll add in the section [LanguageStrings] the code "Bosnian=Bosnian" and wait until the platform has a translation of the Bosnian language.

No need.

There's no need to have a line like that. If the app uses a language code the same as the platform, it'll use it automatically as long as you set up the other language sections correctly.

clarification of my problem

The situation is, that the app (here: PicPick) has a translation in the Bosnian language. Unfortunately the platform has currently no translation for this language. For this reason, of course, the introduction of the code, which I mentioned above, is useless. I have this line (Bosnian= Bosnian) inserted in the section [LanguageStrings] only for the case, that later in the platform will be performed a translation for the Bosnian language. It is thus a pure precautionary measure.

Still not needed

That line still isn't needed. Once the platform supports Bosnian, it'll likely set the LocaleName to Bosnian, so you won' t need that language string at all.
