Policy for new languages

[Blacklight447]

Hello Qubes translation team,

Yesterday(13 december) a new language request was made on the transifex translation page(the requested language was Thai btw). I wanted to ask if there is already a policy on accepting new languages for translations, and since the translations are going to be locked temponairly in the future, if it will be wise to accept them right now.

My first thought would be to accept the new language, but alert the user that requested it that the translations will be locked soon. What thoughts do you have on this?


Cheers,
Blacklight

I don't know any policies yet, but I guess we can accept any language.

I also guess that you are right. The way you proposed we won't have
pending language requests while the lock is active. Also, we don't
know when the lock will be active (hopefully soon). So, I agree to accept.

I also wish we could send a message to the requester directly.
