The latter part of my message was "wishful thinking". sc-IT is to be used
without doubt.
What I meant was that we might have a problem in the future if we want to
translate Abiword in Gallurese-sardinian which is quite different from the
other three dialects.
Just to add wood to the fire in Sardinia we also have a Catalan dialect
spoken in the town of Alghero (and only there!) and a Genovese dialect (so
called Tabarchino) spoken on the small islands of S. Pietro and S. Antioco
(on the south west coast of Sardinia). For simplicity's sake I won't go into
the various sub-dialects of the main variants. The real problem is that
Sardinia should be considered as a seperate country... but this is wishful
thinking once again.
In bon'ora,
Francesco
