Hoi,
The interface is localised from English at translatewiki.net. Localisation
has always been done as part of the requirements for a new project. The
ability to localise happens after the language committee indicates that a
language is "eligible". There are all kinds of complications with the use

Hoi,
The policy has it that a request is to be made. When it proves that labels
are not representive of tje language, they will be removed.
Yes, special codes can be used but for it to work qualifiers need to be
used.

If we are able to use any ISO-639-3 that should do. It worried me hearing
"there will be no 'custom' language", when there are language codes like
"mis", "mul", "und", "zxx" that mean more or less "custom".
Thanks,

Hoi,
The ISO-639-3 has codes for "whatever". We can use a code for "whatever"
and qualify it to a tin foiled hat or tin tin or whatever.

For instance in "Template:Infobox fictional country" there is a field for
fictional mottos, like the one for Syldavia, the fictional country that
appears in The Adventures of Tintin:
Syldavia (Q1751922) "Eih bennek, eih blavek."
Syldavian (Q2708019)

Hoi,
Making languages available for projects is something that is done according
to the Wikimedia language policy. In it there is no say at all for the
community. The reason being that this proved to be very political and
consequently very disruptive.

Hoi.
When a language is dead, it does not mean that it cannot be made available
in Wikidata. The language committee has explicitly opened the door for any
and all recognised language.. (ie ISO 639-3).
There is no need for tricks,

Hi,
Will the monolngual text datatype support old languages? There are
settlements that had an "official name" in a now dead language. Besides of
"no language", will there be an option to mark such names as "custom" and
use the qualifier "language (p407)" instead?
Thanks,
Micru
