This is total, absolute non-sense. I/we do understand the ex-Yugoslav tragedy, but accepting terms like 'Bosnian' language and, consequently, localization is NOT a recommended way to unerstand things. This does not help these people live together. Please remove this from your presentation.

'Bosnian' localization - yazarim

Why not? Is not Bosnian, or Bosnan, or Bosniak a language? On Wikipedia I read: "Bosnian language (<i>bosanski jezik</i>) is a South Slavic language native to the Bosniak people".

'Bosnian' localization - Martin Köhler

The localization was provided by a native speaker, on his own demand, as most others are [1], except for English and German, which I've done myself.

Well, that's a dialect. But I can't see a problem in calling it 'Bosnian'. Even the highly regarded ISO [2] calls it "Bosnian" [3].

If a native speaker wishes to contribute his own localization, may it be "Croatian", "Serbian", "Serbo-Croatian", "Slovenian", or any other language or dialect or macrolanguage or whatever, I'll also include that. No one is excluded, everyone is happy and free to choose what they want!
Even "Esperanto" or "Clingon" is accepted ;-)
