[Padre-dev] New data structure in Padre::Locale

[DirkDn]

Hi
First of all Happy new year greetings to everyone!!!

Concerning:

Indeed there is a belgian varation since belgian dutch (alias flemish
alias southern dutch) and dutch dutch (alias northern dutch) have
evolved historically in a bit analog way to british and american
english.

Cheers!!!

Dirk
