I can work on maintaining HELLO file once the policy of the
file is decided.

I agree with that.  Although the priority of the work for it
is fairly low for me, if what I should do is just to add a
line or two upon each request, I'm willing to do that.

It seems to be a reasonable compromise, but I don't want to
be a person who decide which is more important, French or
German.  :-p   So, how about the attached one?

Looks really good to me!

I'm not sure, but don't we say "Western Europe" and "Eastern Europe"
instaed of "West Europe" and "Other Europe" ?

To show the national å letter I guess.

I would much rather have the danish entry say something like
"blåbærgrød" to show the (specific) Danish letters, but very few
people use that to mean Hello.  (blåbærgrød ~ blueberry jelly)

In danish we can say "Halløj" to mean hello.

    I can work on maintaining HELLO file once the policy of the
    file is decided.

I don't object to adding a few "redundant" languages as long as I
don't have to do any work on them.  So we can add languages that
people request adding, as long as someone wants to do the work.

    It seems to be a reasonable compromise, but I don't want to
    be a person who decide which is more important, French or
    German.  :-p   So, how about the attached one?

It is ok with me.

For the non-Latin scripts, we do not try to show all the letters --
just a few.  So maybe there's no reason to try to do any more than
that for Latin scripts.

Because this is a minute issue, it is hard to settle questions about
it.  Whatever we do, it would not be very bad.  But it could use
a lot of time.

Please don't ask me.  I put it just because someone gave it
to me.  If "på" is surely unnecessary, I'll delete it.

If we want to show the "å", we could remove the "på" and instead add a
"Hallå" (another way to say hello) to the list of words. What do other
Swedish-talking persons here think?

Ok, I've just committed a slightly modified version
(attached at the tail).  As far as I understand, it reflects
all requests posted.

As I have no idea, I changed it to single "Europe" entry.

I changed the Swedish line to this:

Swedish (svenska)	Hej, Goddag, Hallå

But, I'd like to reorder 3 "hello"s by popularity.  Please
tell me the correct order.

I changed the Danish line to this:

Please tell me the correct order as above.

I'd say the order above is correct. If I had to pick only one word for
"Hello" it would be "Hej". "Goddag" ("good day") is a bit older and
more formal, and "Hallå" is quite common, depending on the situation
and where you come from. "Hallå" is more casual, IMO.

Re: Hello in Hungarian

    I changed the Danish line to this:

    Danish (dansk)	Hej, Goddag, blåbærgrød, Halløj

I think this is a misunderstanding.  blåbærgrød does NOT mean "hello".
He said it means "blueberry jelly".

He mentioned it _only_ because it uses several letters that are specific
to Danish.

I thought that, in Denmark, saying "blueberry jelly" in
Danish means "Hello" for a few people.  :-p

Anyway, I've already fixed it.

Yes, I just couldn't pass on the opportunity to add something to Emacs

Which one would you use in this particular context?

I definitely would use "magyarul", though it is not the direct
translation of "Hungarian".

("magyar" sounds weird here for me, but, naturally, can be understood:
it can be seen as a placeholder for "Hungarian [version]"...)

Thanks for your care,
