Comment 5 for bug 162462

Forwarding this bug report from a Ubuntu reporter:

[Problem]
Several variants are given for Slovenian keyboards, but most appear to be unneeded and perhaps should be removed.

[Discussion]
The following variants are available:

    name[Group1]="Slovenia";
    name[Group1]= "Slovenia - US keyboard with Slovenian letters";
    name[Group1]= "Slovenia - Use guillemets for quotes";
    name[Group1]= "Slovenia - Use Slovenian digraphs";
    name[Group1]= "Slovenia - US keyboard with Slovenian digraphs";

This appears to mirror the ba variants, so it is thought perhaps this was a cut-and-paste error when deriving this file.

[Original Report]
Keyboard layout: international 105, "Slovenian with diagraphs"
The keyboard gives wrong characters:
TYPE GET
q lj
w nj
y ž
x dž

When I change the setting from "Slovenian with diagraphs" to "Slovenian", it works ok - Slovenian QWERTZ keyboard.
I do not understand the actual meaning of "Slovenian with diagraphs". Maybe it does not need to exists at all.

8.10 alpha6 livecd:
- Setting to default Slovenian language during installation: ok
- Changing the Preferences->Keyboard: Country:Slovenia/variants:Slovenia: ok

However, the last three variants in the menu Preferences->Keyboard->Variants (...diagraphs, ....diagraphs, ....letters) are unneeded and a surplus. They seem to be a result from cut&paste from other language (e.g. Croatian,Serbian). Note that letters like 'lj' or 'nj' are treated as a single letter, but this is not the case not in Slovenian language.

it is only a default configuration issue: I am offered too many
possibilites. Some of the mentioned options are wrong and if I by mistake
select the "Slovenian with diagraphs", I cannot use the Slovenian keyboard
correctly. This is the only problem - there are no diagraphs on any
Slovenian keyboard (diagraph = Two letters that represent one speech
sound).
Kind regards, B.
