Canadian Locale en_CA

Hello Grommunio Community.

In these uncertain times for us in Canada, with the United States harassing our country, we Canadians are "buy anything except US products" as much as we can.

The English used in Canada differs slightly from the US and GB. Many Linux installations allow for a locale called en_CA. This helps our dictionaries correct words that the US and GB spell slightly different.

Can the great minds at Grommunio consider including the Canadian English (en_CA) locale inside Grommunio Web and Initial Setup using YAST?

The Open SUSE OS supports en_CA, but from the web GUI and grommunio_cui YAST setup, I only see en_US & en_GB.

In Windows 11 Outlook (en_CA locale), events are created with en_CA. If I create an event in WebUI, it's en_US, as there is not en_CA option. Not an issue, but the letters "US" irk me now lol

Please consider adding the Canadian English locale to Grommunio Web and grommunio_cui setup.

Thank you.

I would suggest, if you have an account, to open an issue on github.

I'm not sure if there is Canadian English in Exchange, for example: Austrian German does not exist.

Anyhow, in web you could just replace the default.

sed -i "s|'LANG', 'en_US.UTF-8'|'LANG', 'en_CA.UTF-8'|g"  /etc/grommunio-web/config.php

But now i see it isn't even listed in the configuration in web so that language would need to be added from the Grommunio-Team in here https://github.com/grommunio/grommunio-web/tree/master/server/language i guess..

Hello Walter, I have used your many solutions for my Grommunio, thank you.

I have never administered MS Exchange, but I do use Canadian English for Outlook.

I do have a GitHub account, I'll make a PR there, thanks.

This is not an 'operation' issue for me, most browsers support Canadian English for correction. When en_CA is missing, our default is to use en_GB instead. Canadian English is follows closer to UK spelling than US.

Thank you for your help.
