1. need asap: bg_BG locale for FreeBSD

   Oleg Bartunov <oleg@sai.msu.su> — 2000-09-11T07:40:31Z

   Hi,
   
   I'm going to Bulgaria this week to setup FreeBSD server running
   postgres and would like to know if somebody has an experience
   with postgres and bulgarian locale. Actually, I need
   bg_BG locale for FreeBSD. interesting that searching for
   subject in internet doesn't provide any information.
   The only thing I found is bg_BG locale for Linux (Redhat)
   
   	Regards,

   I created a Swedish LC_COLLATE locale part for FreeBSD a while
   back, with the specific purpose of using it with PostgreSQL,
   and it was not very hard.
   
   For sorting stuff:
   Check /usr/src/share/colldef (the sorting algoritm is defined
   by LC_COLLATE). I don't anything about bulgarian, though. Is it
   using cyrillic characters? Try using one of the russion locales
   to start with.
   
   For character representation (LC_CTYPE), I have no experience,
   but it should also be fairly easy. Maybe Bulgarian uses a
   similar character set to for example Russian? You will only
   need a character locale for each Check /usr/src/share/mklocale
   
   For a complete locale, you would also need timedef
   (/usr/src/share/timedef).
   
   colldef(1) is man page to check for sorting (collate)...
   
   mklocale(1) is for locale creation.
   
   Good luck!

   Palle,
   
   thanks for the message. I've created bulgarian locale
   from similar russian sources (I believe it's CP1251 charset).
   Hope it would be ok.
