What's the current state of play on this issue? I'm working on a site that will need to support users from right across Europe, so issues like this are really important for a good user experience.

The above posts indicate that this patch should have been applied to version 3.1 but it is not in there. I am running version 3.1.4 and the functions don't exist in the civicrm.module file.

This is because, as per CRM-5493, the fixes in r25112+r25142 took care of this without the need to patch civicrm.module.

2nd issue is that Civicrm and Drupal use different strings to define languages. For example, Chinese in Drupal is zh-hans while in Civicrm it is zh_CN.

Argh, that’s a good catch. I filed CRM-6281 to fix this. I’ll fix this for 3.2 and think whether it’s feasible to backport to 3.1.6 (the code will be different, as the move to Transifex means 3.2 will use two letter codes for most languages in CiviCRM anyway).

Everything except some edge cases (Simplified/Traditional Chinese being the only one I know of) should work in CiviCRM 3.1.5.
