Hi, I see that we are getting more and more translations packages in Fedora and those can be installed now via yum-langpacks plugin. I found that these packages are not following uniqueness in their naming. e.g. If I look into Russian language translation packages then we have real fedora package names as

tesseract-langpack-rus kde-l10n-Russian libreoffice-langpack-ru childsplay-alphabet_sounds_ru

My suggestion is we should have some naming guidelines like use language codes for language translation packages e.g. for Russian language your package should end with "-ru" only.

Embedding the locale in the pkg name makes good sense.

... and, in fact, yum-langpacks only works if the locale shortcode is in the Name or Provides: of the package.

(kde-l10n-Russian works via Provides. Don't know about tesseract-langpack.)

Would you be willing to write up a packaging guildeline draft?

Yes. I will reply soon with some draft on this.

Here is a initial draft -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/LangPack

Thanks, Parag.
