<i18n dev> Problem with a translation

[Michael Fang]

Hi Christian,

Thank you for contacting us about potential translation error. I do not 
understand the language, so I am looking up various reference sources.

One of the source of reference is CLDR database.  It has the same 
translation as Java:
[1] 
<http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/tags/release-2-0-1/common/main/sq.xml> 
<language type="sq">shqipe</language>

I do see inconsistent translation on Microsoft web sites:
[2] Lang=sq NativeName=shqipe
[3]*Albanian* Shqip

So, perhaps both are acceptable?

I have sent an email to Albania embassy to seek clarification. If you 
have any official reference, that would be helpful as well.

thanks,

-michael
