The link says If the language is not listed in Weblate at all, it's a pretty good indication that you will have to start from scratch. In this case, prepare for a lot of translation work (or better, find yourself a few comrades) and contact the localization mailing list telling your intentions and listing all the necessary information (see below). Have good luck. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Someone who knows more probably will give you a more detailed answer, but for now you can look at the southern Sotho / Sesotho translation on Weblate [1] and find the area for improvement. For now you can only make suggestions, and since there is no contact person listed on the LibreOffice language teams page [2], you'll want to contact the previous translator to see how you can cooperate. If he/she is no longer working on the translation, you can write to this list again and ask to become the main translator for Sesotho and get access to directly change the translation string on Weblate instead of just making suggestions. 1. https://translations.documentfoundation.org/languages/st/ 2. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language_Teams Hope this helps, Ming -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

The thing is I did. South Sotho as its called has a dialect more aimed at South Africa. Lesotho has its own way of presenting the language. Given that challenge, rather than offending people, I think it would be ideal to have Sesotho. We don't do the whole Northern and Southen Sotho thing...

Hi Hlompho, If you'd like to get more people involved with the translation effort, just let me know. I do marketing and community outreach here at The Document Foundation, and can spread the word on our blog and social media, encouraging others with knowledge of the language to join in, eg like this: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/06/22/community-member-monday-jwtiyar-ali/ Just drop me a line if so!

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Setting Up Sesotho For LibreOffice Languages
I realised that issue, So in light of that, I would like to know if it's ever possible that ls being Lesotho ISO code be added to the Lesotho aspect of the branch? Because the Sotho (as they may call it) does have some serious issues in how the language has been put together from our perspective. Then there is the other issue of how we write our words. Since written language from our end has more of an influence from how French vocabulary was written, there are some significant differences in how words are put together. So in light of this point, I think to prevent creating issues on the efforts of the South Sotho, I think it would be ideal to create a new branch altogether.

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Setting Up Sesotho For LibreOffice Languages
I saw that, From our end, we refer to the language as Sesotho. Based on this point there are some other significant differences even how we speak and use the language. Given that Lesotho is an independent state, our language doesn't tend to have some of the influences from other languages in South Africa. However given that our language in its current form is the official language, there is some issue that may need be addressed and that there are some significant differences in how they are written.

If you are proposing 'st-LS' additionally to 'st' (which defaults to 'st-ZA') then yes, that would be possible.

For LibreOffice however it is a strict requirement to have a valid BCP 47 *language tag*. Which usually is the ISO 639-1/2/3 language code plus maybe a ISO 3166 country code, but can also be any tag of IANA registered subtags. If you're interested in the glory details see my link collection at https://erack.de/bookmarks/D.html#Language_Tags Making up an arbitrary string like 'en_devel' will not work.

Here is the funny thing, We just referee to our language as Sesotho. But with the need to accommodate the international codes allocated I thought it would be more ls-ST.

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Setting Up Sesotho For LibreOffice Languages
Greetings, Based on this part of the protocol: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5646#section-2.2.4 I think the idea that Lesotho could have its own defined language tag. (Well from my limited understanding) Besides that, there are some significant differences in our language. So on this note, I hope that it could count as a case for this petition.
