The easiest way to add a new language to CLDR is preparing ‘seed’ files in XML format; - See https://www.unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/seed/main/arn.xml for a minimal example. - See http://cldr.unicode.org/index/cldr-spec/minimaldata for a description what minimal content is expected for a new language. - See https://www.unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/seed/main/ for the current files in seed stage. When reading data from CLDR, consider injecting the English names from the IANA language subtag registry <https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry> as a fallback when a language is missing from CLDR. That would immediately give at least an English name to every language in existence (provided it has an ISO/IETF language code). Another good data source for enriching CLDR might be Wikidata, via property P305 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P305> (IETF language tag). Disclaimer: I volunteer at Unicode CLDR and am the maintainer for some minor parts of its codebase. So in my personal experience, the process has been super smooth.. :-) @Nikki, can you send me your CLDR tickets that got rejected? I’d like to understand the reason, it sounds surprising.
