I don't think we have criteria of "popularity" or "official" status language. The only criteria we have is about committed people who are willing to maintain it. We have some really good rules on when language is supported - prepared by Shahar - and ones we agreed to.
https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/airflow-core/src/airflow/ui/public/i18n/README.md#5-requirements I don't think we have rules for "being official" or "being popular". One of the reasons we introduced and agreed to the rules is ... to actually follow them when new language is proposed. And so that we do not invent "new" reasons why we should accept/reject a language on the fly. Currently (at least) - if Catalan passes the original criteria we have and will be supported - we agreed to accept it. If not, we will drop it (and that's also described in the rules). But of course if we would like to introduce new criteria for languages - we could do it. We could even do it based on the Catalan example and propose new rules. But it should not be "let's not approve Catalan" but "let's propose a new rule based on what we see with Catalan". Does it mean Pierre, that you want to propose and discuss a new rule that we should add? What would be that proposed rule in this case (we need to have a concrete rule proposal that we can objectively apply to other potential languages). Until then I think we should follow the rules we agreed so far. J.
