- still strongly recommended. You'll never know in what
- environment your language package will be used, and neither
- UTF-8 nor Latin1 are guaranteed.</p><p>The whole content of this file is a string that can be

Perl script autogenerated by <span class="command"><strong>locales.pl</strong></span>. To
generate it, generate the directory and the two files mentioned
above, and execute the following command:</p><pre class="programlisting">scripts/locales.pl <langcode></pre><p>Otherwise you can simply copy one of the other languages.
