Locale data for Oromo Language

Thank you for your contribution.

In the attached locale data file the number formats for currency use
a parenthesized form for negative amounts ([CURRENCY]#,##0.00) that
usually is only correct for locales based on an en-US locale, which
probably is an oversight here. Please check and correct if appropriate.

Btw, did you already sign the SCA? See
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Sun_Contributor_Agreement

Thanks
  Eike

@barreessaa:
Could you please evaluate the currency formats as per my previous comment and
correct them if/as needed? Please also state whether you signed the SCA.
Thanks
  Eike

@barreessaa:
Please answer my questions. Note also that I can not integrate code or data that
was not submitted under SCA. Thanks.

   

    Dear Eik,

   Sorry for the delay. And thanks a lot for your support. 

The negative currency format for our locale is the same as English.
We have already signed the scanned copy of SCA and sent it through e-mail 
around four months ago.
   

      With Best Regards,

   Hi,

Note that I changed the ListSeparator from ',' comma to ';' semicolon, only for
consistency. It currently isn't used in the application.

Compiling the data gave:

Warning: QuotationStart and QuotationEnd are both ASCII characters. Not
necessarily an error, but unusual.
Warning: DoubleQuotationStart and DoubleQuotationEnd are both ASCII characters.
Not necessarily an error, but unusual.
Warning: QuotationStart equals QuotationEnd. Not necessarily an error, but unusual.
Warning: DoubleQuotationStart equals DoubleQuotationEnd. Not necessarily an
error, but unusual.

Usually, languages use typographic single and double quotation marks, not the
plain ASCII ones, isn't that the case with Oromo? See also in Writer menu
Tools->AutoCorrect->CustomQuotes, which is where they are used.

If you wish, I can change them as appropriate.

    Dear Erack,

     It is better to use typographic single and double quotation marks for 
Afan Oromo too. We didnt use the ASCII characters delibrately. So would you 
please help us on correcting the mistake?

      Thanks,
      Dawit

Hi Dawit,

Sure, just tell me which should be used and I'll change the data. From the
following list pick start and end characters of single and double quotes.

    We have submitted locale data for Oromo language 5 months ago. But there is
no this locale data in any of the developer milestones yet. Can any one help us
with this?
