Description Alex Shaposhnik 2009-04-27 23:33:08 UTC

Keyboard Indicator 2.26.0 gives 'Kir' for Kyrgyz Republic (Kyrgyzstan), when officially our country's name is spelled with 'y' as a second letter - Kyrgyz Republic or Kyrgyzstan. The best way for the local indications would be internationally adopted two-letter country codes according to ISO–3166–1. However, if the current practice of using three letters should be continued, then the local code for our country should be corrected to 'Kyr'. Not a coder to offer a patch, sorry and thank you for your attention.

Actually,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3

says about KGZ. Would it be ok to use 'Kgz'?

Sergey, my bad, if three letters, then, of course, it should be KGZ. I was just disliking Kir and trying to get it changed to more corect Kyr. But KGZ is a ISA standard.
