Ok, I suspected something like that was possible. I'm adding support to both Pootle, Virtaal and the Translate Toolkit. What is the preferred name for your language? I see the ISO codes package refers to it as "Gaelic; Scottish Gaelic" - we try to find a way of fixing these names, at least for English. Should I prefer "Gaelic" or "Scottish Gaelic"? I guess "Scottish Gaelic" is better since some people refer to Irish as Gaelic as well. Any special characters that localisers might not be able to type easily? We can add those in Pootle as clickable links by default if you think it is useful enough. Furthermore, we can now look into our quality checks to see if any customisations can be done to ensure they serve your language well. If you are interested in customising Virtaal for some of its language specific features, we can look down that path as well (not necessarily a big task).
