> When an user is in Sakai with spanish language and he wants to  
> change his preferred language to basque, the word "vascuence" is  
> showed in the list of available languages.
>
> While is a correctly accepted word in the spanish language, the word  
> "vascuence" is an old-fashioned term and it's not really used almost  
> by nobody nowadays. This word can be even slightly offensive for the  
> basque speakers.
>
> AFAIK, the term is loaded from the JVM i18n preferences, but  
> changing it is very trivial, so I attach a patch for changing it by  
> the word "euskara", more widely used in the basque-speaking  
> territories, even when speaking in spanish language.
>
> This patch is optional and it's not our intention to merge it in  
> Sakai, just we want to give the choice for changing it to the basque  
> speakers who wants to use Sakai.

> Thanks to Beth Kirschnerr, who told me how to fix this.
