Language variable values

I found that in the following page:

https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/topics/languag...

In the Language variable values table, the LocaleID for both English and Luxembourgish are 1033.
Is there any error?

Updated

The documentation is a little stale as this was apparently taken care of in 2011 according to this post.

... but documentation not updated

Yes, the Platform has since fixed that, but the documentation, although generated from the language files in the platform, has not been updated for quite some time.

I just tried running it again (Other/Source/Manual/topics/languages-table.py) and came up with a few problems in the language files:

  • Armenian needs its Localeglibc changed from hy-am to hy_AM.
  • Filipino needs its LanguageCode and Localeglibc to be changed from fil to tl.
  • SerbianLatin needs its LanguageCode (srp) and LocaleCode3 (sr) swapped.

Unfortunately, I'm rather out of touch with what's happened in some of these things and have forgotten a good deal since I worked with it last over two years ago; I can't remember why the table in topics/languages is using column names starting with Locale (which is what the INI files use) while my script languages-table.py explicitly changes the header to use Language*, including LocaleID to LanguageLCID. My vague recollection is that the environment variables were going to be being changed thus in the next release after the Platform 2.0 Beta 4, but I am not certain of that and I do not know if it happened. I'm not in a position just now to run the Platform and see what environment variables get set. In view of all this, I won't update the table until there's clarity on that matter.

John, would you be able to chip in on this matter? (And also it'd be good to get those remaining language bugs fixed.)
