Request for a New WordPress Locale: Hiligaynon (hil)

Request for a New WordPress LocaleLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/: Hiligaynon (hil)

I would like to request a new WordPress locale for Hiligaynon.

Hiligaynon, also commonly known as Ilonggo, is one of the major languages of the Philippines and is spoken primarily across Western Visayas and parts of Mindanao.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority’s 2020 Census of Population and Housing, Hiligaynon/Ilonggo was the third most commonly spoken language at home in the Philippines, used by approximately 1.93 million households, or 7.3% of households nationwide.

Source: https://psa.gov.ph/content/tagalog-most-widely-spoken-language-home-2020-census-population-and-housing

Despite the size of the Hiligaynon-speaking community, Hiligaynon does not currently have its own WordPress locale. I would like to help establish the Hiligaynon translation project for WordPress and encourage other Hiligaynon-speaking WordPress users and contributors to participate.

Here are the proposed locale details:

Locale: hil
Country code: N/A
Plural forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);
Language native name: Hiligaynon
Language English name: Hiligaynon
Sub-domain: hil.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/
Site Title: Hiligaynon
Site Description: WordPress sa Hiligaynon
Admin Username(s): rollybueno, lynadeiram2596, khleomix

Hiligaynon uses the ISO 639-3 language code hil, and there are already established Hiligaynon localizationLocalization Localization (sometimes shortened to "l10n") is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language, culture, and desired local "look-and-feel." efforts in other open-source projects such as Mozilla.

I would be happy to help coordinate the initial translations, establish translation guidelines and terminology, and encourage other Hiligaynon-speaking members of the WordPress community to contribute. I am also reaching out to other Hiligaynon-speaking contributors in the Philippine WordPress community to help establish the initial translation team.

Please let me know if any of the proposed locale details, particularly the plural expression, need to be adjusted before the locale is created.

Thank you!

Since the North Frisian language consists of different varieties “which are to a certain degree mutually incomprehensible” as Walker (2001) describes, I would appreciate your consideration whether the local code could be used to differentiate this translation project from potential future translation projects of other North Frisian varieties, for example by using ISO 639-3ISO 639-3 ISO 639-3 code is an international standard for language codes in the ISO 639 series.

Hello,

I am using Polylang for my website and noticed that Swiss French (fr-CH) is not yet supported. I would like to contribute to the translation in order to add Swiss French. It seems that a request needs to be made through this site to create the language so that I can start translating.
I look forward to your response and send my best regards.

There are two versions of…

There are two versions of Tamil language.
https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ta/
https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ta-lk/

I would like to suggest you to merge them as one. There are many Tamil dialects. But, they don’t separate when it comes to digital world. Eg: There is only one Tamil Wikipedia. Even Google translation does not give/suggest Tamil and/or Sri Lanka Tamil.

In Sri Lanka, there are some Tamil dialects like Sinhala dialects. Therefore, we cannot separate per “dialects”. When we merge, we can focus much in one than two.

Note: If it inappropriate place to discuss such issues, please guide me to the right place.
