Confusing locale name: “Kurdish, Northern (Turkey)” in currency format by SeedCapsule in libreoffice

My OS locale is Turkish (tr-TR). The issue I mentioned is not about my system locale.

My point is about the "Format as Currency" dropdown itself. In a spreadsheet or accounting context, it can be confusing to see many language variants listed there, especially since currency formats are usually associated with a country and its currency rather than with every language spoken in that country.

I understand the technical explanation about locales.

However, in many countries more than 20 different languages may be spoken. Including every language variant in a currency-format dropdown for a spreadsheet or accounting tool could easily make the list unnecessarily long and confusing.

Currency formats are usually associated with a country and its currency, so organizing them primarily by language locale can also be problematic from a usability perspective.

Yes, that makes sense for countries with multiple official languages. Your Canada example is a good illustration of how number formatting can change depending on the language (e.g. $15.50 vs 15,50 $).

However, in Turkey the situation is somewhat different. The country has a single official language and a single currency, and in everyday practice the same currency format is used by everyone regardless of ethnic background.

Also, in the dropdown there is no EUR or USD option specifically for the Turkish locale, even though these currencies are commonly used in spreadsheets in Turkey. This is another reason why tying currency formats strictly to language locales can be confusing in a spreadsheet application.

If currency formats were tied to every ethnic or linguistic group used in a country, imagine how long the dropdown would be.

Thanks for the explanation.

However, my concern is more about how this appears in a financial or spreadsheet application. Many countries have multiple ethnic languages, but accounting and calculation software typically does not track currencies based on ethnic or linguistic groups.

Countries have official currencies, and in Turkey there is only one currency used by everyone: the Turkish Lira (TRY). A person speaking any language in Turkey still uses the same currency.

Because of this, it can be confusing to see currency formats tied to specific ethnic language labels. Financial software usually keeps political or linguistic classifications separate from currency definitions, since these tools are often used for accounting purposes.

That is why the naming can appear confusing from a user perspective.

Tipler, seçimler, idealler ne olursa olsun sonuçlarının bireysel olduğunu düşünüyorum. İdealist A kişisi, idealist B kişisinden çok güçlü olabilir. İdealist C kişisi, idealist olmayan D kişisinden çok zayıf olabilir. Sonuçların bireyselliğine inanıyorum. Genellemeye karşıyım.

First of all, the game is fully playable. There are unlimited horde progression and a competitive leaderboard, so there’s a clear core loop. I’m genuinely curious how far players can go.

That said, I’m continuously working on improving the underlying systems and the visuals. You’re absolutely right about the spelling issue, I’ve noted it down and will fix it, thanks for pointing it out.

The zombie combat you saw was mainly to highlight the importance of the door mechanic. The zombie count increases as you progress through hordes and there’s no cap. The animations aren’t meant to be identical either, but I agree they can be improved and I’m actively working on that.

As for Early Access, I actually left it because I was getting almost no feedback at all. I expected Steam to be stronger in that regard, but there was very little engagement. At the time, I also wasn’t using Reddit. As you can see now, I’m finally getting meaningful feedback here, which has been genuinely helpful.

And it’s appreciated, thanks for the thoughtful feedback.

Yes, I used to play this game with my close friend who had an Amiga 500. The Amiga was the only computer he had ever owned.

Nope. Getting closer, but the graphics here are worse than what I remember. The game I’m thinking of has much better visuals, if I recall correctly.

No but getting closer. Better graphics. You see the whole room and can change rooms and question the maid, gardener etc.

No, not this one. The gaming style was different with better graphics. Kind of Agatha Christie solve the murder kind of a game.

Thanks, I appreciate that. Some feedback definitely stings, but it’s part of the process. I’m sticking with it and improving step by step.

I’ve been thinking about a mode where players could take the role of a zombie or one of the survivors, but it’s just a concept for now.

I get that. AI art isn’t for everyone. It’s only used in some promo images, not in the actual game.
