Fix: Norwegian translations

[tersor]

@squidfunk Agree! Removing no could be a breaking change, better to do it in next major release.

Thanks for providing the updated PR. Unfortunately, not all of my qquestions were answered – does it make sense to have support for no? Does this PR contain actual translations for no or is it a copy of nb? Don't worry about the breaking change, it's my job to take care of it, but I need more information to decide what to do exactly.

does it make sense to have support for no?

No, it does not make any sense. The no locale should be avoided since it is a macrolanguage. It is much more preferable to use the code for Norwegian bokmål (variant of the Norwegian language) according to the ISO 639-1 standard, which is nb.

Does this PR contain actual translations for no or is it a copy of nb?

It is a copy of nb to avoid any breaking change. Historically (and unfortunately) no has been used as the locale for Norwegian bokmål. But most modern libraries today use nn and nb exclusively.

Ok, perfect, thanks for the explanation. Please remove no then, I'll merge this into #4628 then.

@squidfunk done!

[squidfunk]

See my comments and our contributing guide.

Please remove the changes for search.config.* (here and in the other translation). I'm pretty confident that with those lines present, search will not work. Lunr languages only supports no.

[tersor]

Much appriciated feedback @squidfunk! Sorry for not reading the entire contributing guide, my bad 🙄

I notice in lunr.no.js that it mixes both languages (nn and nb), so I think it is best to define "search.config.lang": "no". Then the search will work too.

[squidfunk]

All good! I've merged your changes into the v9 branch, tracked in #4628.

Error message using Norwegian Bokmål:
@squidfunk Using the follwing language code for norwgian nynorsk, nn, works perfectly:
theme:
name: material
language: nn

However, using the code for Norwegian Bokmål, nb, does not work:
theme:
name: material
language: nb

This combination gives an error message and tells me the web page is unavailable. Is there a way to choos Norwegian Bokmål as the language for the page?

Regards,
Martin

No, nb is the correct code, it should work. Make sure to upgrade to the latest version.

Thanks, I thought I had installed the latest, but it was v.8.3.3 :-( After updating to the latest revision everything works.
