Not that it is very important, but... it just surprised me to read "locale" instead of "language" in the FAQ, like in: "Q: How can request to have a mailing list set up for my locale?" Shouldn't it be "language"? I guess that in the Arabic list there are people from many different countries, all with different locales, no?

One example :)
pt and pt_BR.
Both are Portuguese but one is Portugal Portuguese, the other is Brazilian Portuguese. The locale is made of language and region, not just language. As the fedora translation community grows, I imagine people would like to see localisation occur in a more defined way, hence I used "locale" instead of "language". The locale without the region code is the default locale for that language.

Nice - short and clear.
I'd have said "refer to the CVS FAQ" "Does the Fedora Project need" etc ?
The only other questions I can think of I've seen are
Q: How do I get a new locale added Q: I can't use cvs add to add a non-existant .po file
Q: How do I get my new locale enabled for installs
A: File a bug against Anaconda giving the keyboard and timezone defaults for the locale. Also specify the font required for it.
Great suggestions Alan, I'll include these questions in the next update.

Quoting Sarah Wang sarahs@redhat.com:

There's no A-Q pair for creating a new locale...
(BTW how is a new locale added? As I joined this mailing list to allow Fedora to be put in British English as seeing misplaced 'z's and missing 'u's gives me a headache :-)

Be glad to help. PS "United Kingdom English", its also spoken in Northern Ireland , even if the locale is en_GB.
