I'm working with BlackBerry API 7.1 on Eclipse and I want to know if it's possible to add localization for variations of the same language.
I'm working on an app that needs to be localized for 10 countries that speak Spanish, but every country uses different manners of speech.
The problem I'm seeing is that BlackBerry API 7.x's Locale class only has constants for Spain Spanish and Mexican Spanish. Does that mean localization for Spanish speaking countries such as Panama, Argentina, Colombia, etc. get a default localization as if it were Spain Spanish?
Also for this case where multiple variations of the same languages must be dealt with, how should I name the files? I tried adding locale_es-AR.rrc but the - is not admissible on Resource files names, but I don't know if locale_es_AR.rrc is the correct format.
I want to know before adding ten Resource files for these countries that may or may not be usable.
Is it possible what I'm looking for?
What you are trying is correct. Have a look at Localizing Your Files
This file must have the same name as the resource header file, followed by an underscore (_) and the language code, and then, optionally, by a single underscore (_) and a country code (for example, AppName_en_GB.rrc).
