Tamil locale (TA_IN, TA_SL, TA_SG, TA_MY) is using outdated encoding of TSCII. Tamil community is widely using UTF-8 encoding. Further, the 'locale' standard library package in Python3 should be updated with these strings. Should the maintainers desire assistance on this task, as a native speaker of the language, I can propose a patch or recommed other native speakers for this task. |

Hi Muthu, thanks for reporting this! Looks like this is related to issue20087 whereby the X11 locale data for TA_IN is using TSCII but the glibc supported file has the UTF-8 alias. Pending a resolution to that bug, I think your best course of action would be to try to get this corrected upstream in x11, the code is here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/blob/master/nls/locale.alias.pre#L1078 and their issue tracker is here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/issues Assuming that it gets accepted upstream, it should be simple enough to regenerate the locale module to use it. |
