Core: erroneous locale 'kh', what to do now?

[mksd]

Hi all,

There is a messages_kh.properties in Core (here) meant to be for the Khmer language.
But unfortunately the locale ID is erroneous, Khmer would be 'km_KH' or at the very least 'km' (but not 'kh').

(Q.) How do we correct this, is it just a matter of renaming the file to messages_km.properties through a PR or there are other things to do in regards to Transifex... etc?

Interesting. A bit of googling says that:

• Java 8 does not support Khmer: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/java8locales-2095355.html
• The 2-letter code is km as you say: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/langcodes-keyword.php?SearchTerm=khmer&SearchType=ALL

openmrs-core is not translated via transifex, so I think you can just rename the file. (If you're using the Khmer locale in some implementation you'll probably be the first to identify any errors that pop up.)

Ok thanks @darius. We may just submit a PR renaming messages_kh.properties to messages_km.properties.
