Package: iso-codes Version: 3.22-1 At the moment the name given for the Greek language is "Greek, Modern (1453-)". However, this is strange and confusing. No other modern language has this.
It is proposed to change the name of the Greek language in the iso-codes package to simply 'Greek'. The same could be said of Ancient Greek, currently named "Greek, Ancient (to 1453)". The original reporter writes: "1. Launch a utility that lists language names in your chosen language, e.g. Ubuntu's language-selector. 2. Scroll through the list of languages. What you see: * Greek is listed as "Greek, Modern (1453-)". * No other kind of Greek is listed. * No other listed language contains a date in its name, except for Occitan (which is a bug too). What you should see: * Greek is listed simply as "Greek". Even if there was any software using iso-codes that usefully displayed "Greek, Ancient" as an option, it would still be obvious what "Greek" meant in contrast to that." I have confirmed this issue personally to be present in iso-codes 3.22-1 from Debian unstable. This will affect Debian bug #517262.
