I tried to integrate YAF.NET in my web site and stumbled on its localization. Here are the details:

I need a forum on Serbian language - while there is no this language in YAF list, I need to create it. As far as I realized, I need to copy one existing language XML file, change its name and parameters in Resources tag, and that's it - I would have it in the list and I could start manual translation. But, it failed - I got no updates in the list.

The problem lies in this:

<Resources xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" language="Serbian" code="sr">

I tried to do the same with a few languages that were out of the list: Croatian (HR), Slovenian (SL), Bulgarian (BG), and it was ok - I got these languages.

Any help appreciated.

I also tried "sr-SP", "sr-SP-Latn", "sr-Latn" and other variations, but with no luck.

Thats the Problem YAF has a check that only allows lanuages with xx-xx language codes but not xx-xx-xx. I Removed that check in changeset 1a8af763f9c0 then it should work with "sr"

And the changes are complex because they will be in many places.

If I understood correctly, without some bigger changes there is no chance that this language shows in the system.

Could I expect these changes in some next major release of YAF.NET or I should just forget it and release forum with Serbian language under some other language name.

Regards

Yes if it works correctly its included in the next release.
