<p>Dear, Sir:</p>
<p>Apparently, I did not make myself sufficiently clear. I
apologize. First, I request the codes from 0x23 to 0x2e so that I
can assign the correct languages to those codes. Second, and I
quote myself: "I arbitrarily assigned codes for the other
languages."</p>
<p>I see two uses for the table I provided. First, for someone that
does not use a language whose code is 0x01 to 0x22 to use one of
the "extra" languages to fill slot 0x00 or, in fact, any of the
slots to have a more comfortable language in their Garmin
receiver. Second, for some who does not not want to do a language
re-assignment, to find translations from a more comfortable
language to one of the Garmin "official" languages.</p>
<p>In no way to I contradict your statement: "As far as I know
Garmin only uses codes up to 0x2E."</p>
<p>As I said before: "I request consideration: I intend no offense
and corrections are welcome."</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br>
Randolph J. Herber<br>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>I'm interested to learn the source you used for language
codes > &0x2F .</p>
<p>As far as I know Garmin only uses codes up to 0x2E</p>

all! <br>
<br>
First, note the attached file is in JSON format and is
inherently UTF-8. <br>
<br>
Second, the file contains four sub-tables: point, line, polygon,
and language. The first three should be obvious. The language
sub-table contains the languages presented. I used the extant
codes for the extant languages mentioned in the mkgmap web
documentation. I arbitrarily assigned codes for the other
languages. Altogether, one hundred three languages are
presented. I used Google Translate and am paying for Google's
services here. Therefore, this is work-for-hire and I may give
them away. Yes, I readily admit some of translations are awkward
or even incorrect. There, I request consideration: I intend no
offense and corrections are welcome. I tended not to change
Eurocentric terms to American terms although in some cases I
added the equivalent American term. I expanded some of the
phrases in hopes of improving the machine translations. <br>
<br>
Third, I feel that all urban areas should be treated
equivalently and I note Ticker Berkin's previous comments on
that topic, the translations reflect my preferences. I did
incorporate Ticker's most significant objection which I did find
valid. Also, I feel that an logarithmic scale is appropriate in
this application and that 3.2*3.2 is 10.24, which is about 10.
This allows a good range of population values. <br>
<br>
Fourth, I am working on incorporating this material into the
default style and typ files, in particular the typ file. <br>
<br>
Thank you, <br>
