<h1>Adding a new language</h1>
<ul>
<li>Add the new text file to <code>products/gLiveSupport/var</code>.
(See the
<a href="http://icu.sourceforge.net/userguide/localizing.html#ICU4C">ICU
user guide</a> for the format of this file.)<br>
The first row of the file should be the locale name, followed by
":table". The locale name is of the form
<code>&lt;language-code&gt;[[_&lt;country-code&gt;]_&lt;variant&gt;]</code>,
where
<ul>
<li><code>&lt;language-code&gt;</code> is the
<a href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langcodes.html">ISO 639-1</a>
2-letter language code in lowercase,</li>
<li>the optional <code>&lt;country-code&gt;</code> is the
<a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html">ISO 3166-1</a>
2-letter country code in uppercase, and</li>
<li>the optional <code>&lt;variant&gt;</code> is the variant
(usually EURO or CYRILLIC) in uppercase.</li>
</ul>
Note that this is slightly different from the normal ISO standard:
ICU uses it_IT_EURO where the standard would be it_IT@euro.<br>
Make sure the file is in UTF-8 encoding, has Unix line breaks,
and does not have a
<a href="http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM">BOM</a>
character at the beginning. The file name should be
<code>&lt;language-code&gt;[_&lt;country-code&gt;].txt</code>,
where <code>&lt;language-code&gt;</code> is the
<a href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langcodes.html">ISO 639-1</a>
2-letter language code in lowercase,
and the optional <code>&lt;country-code&gt;</code> is the
<a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html">ISO 3166-1</a>
2-letter country code in uppercase.
character at the beginning.<br>
The file name should be the locale name, followed by ".txt".
<li>Add a new line for the new language in each of the files
<code>gLiveSupport.xml</code>,
<code>gLiveSupport.xml.template</code> and
