    Hi all,

    I've made a multilingual website with pulldown menu to switch languages, and everything works allright.

    Now, mostly as a joke, I wanted to let my site support Bosnian (Cyrillic script) as a nice gesture to a colleague. According to the page at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172470(VS.80).aspx the name to use is "bs-Cyrl-BA", or code 0x201A. But using either of these results I get a compiler error "Culture name 'bs-cyrl-ba' / ID 8218 (0x201A) is not supported."

    I've also tried Bosnian with Latin script, and Serbian with both Latin and Cyrillic script, and those all work great.

    Am I doing something wrong, or is the MSDN page I found wrong?

     

    Update: I found a page for selecting different locales at http://www.jazon.net/preplogic/chapter9/listing9_1.aspx, and I notice the list is different from when I download the source and compile it on my own computer. Some of the locales I am missing:

    • ga-IE - Irish (Ireland),
    • fil-PH - Filipino (Philippines),
    • bs-Cyrl-BA - Bosnian (Cyrillic) (Bosnia and Herzegovina),
    • fy-NL - Frisian (Netherlands),
    • ne-NP - Nepali (Nepal),
    • rm-CH - Romansh (Switzerland)
    Some of these are relatively common! What is wrong here????

    Nobody that knows of any solution? Localization doesn't seem to be a popular area...
