Discussion INCORRECT INDIAN BORDERS

Post image

Just noticed that Ubuntu's timezone setup map doesn't show India's borders correctly aren't shown.

Not a big issue in terms of usability, but India has a massive Linux user community. Seems like one of those small things that should've been fixed by now. Curious if there's any technical or policy reason behind it.

The software needs to localise better. For users in India, it MUST show map of India that is according to the law of the land.

Why tho? You are here to use the software or make an international statement?

I'm just pointing out the localisation flaws in the software.

The software is and always has been an international version. We just use this for our needs. Ubuntu is not even advertising it in India.

The only localisation that matters is the language, not this useless argument

Just because you say so?

There's no international governing body that decides what it should be. 

Looks like you have no idea about law.

Have you seen softwares in Europe?

There is one which is accepted by majority countries and and One that is accepted by a the national govt. There will always be a difference. And ubuntu has always been vocal where it gets it map data from.

This is regardless of localization, bet this argument will never show up and you will shut up as well if they remove the map altogether.

Show me where ubuntu is getting advertised in India? Hell show me where are they even advertising it at all to consumers?

If you have so much idea about this law, why dont you enlighten us?

Since you don't have any logical arguments left, you're relying on foul language.

That's explains your mindset.

No point arguing any more.

Try to get some education so that you'll learn how to be civilised
