Here we have a problem that Sorani Kurdish software translation seems to
be at its early age.

The name of the po file is only important on Linux.
In ISO 639-1 there is only ku for kurdish
In ISO 639-3 there is ckb for Sorani

And Sorani is mainly spoken in Irak if i understood correctly.

So my view is that it should be ckb.po or ckb_IQ.po or ku_IQ.po

But i have also found a few ku_ckb on internet.

The real answer will come when Sorani get integrated in glibc.


For windows and MacOSX, we can call it like we want.
And in 1.0.0 we choose to have the translated name in the preferences.
So I will add
سۆرانی
to the list except if you give me a better one.

What can be tricky is with the autodetection of the language: Does
windows know about kurdish? Does it know about the three different
dialects ? If yes, how does it refers to them.
