New language requests

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Lloffiwr

I am hoping to attend Wikimania in London this year. Would you or another developer be able to provide some training on how to do these things? As it stands a lot of the above is just jargon to me, and as far as drawing a line is concerned, I do not know on what criteria to base a decision.

Nike and others will be at Wikimania, however that's so far. :) IMHO you would be able to make such decisions, it's "just" about finding out whether a language is (alive and) sustainable as a locale. We just don't want to have lots of empty language codes or dead languages.

I'm sorry for the jargon... But you are already able to navigate the codebase a bit and adding a language is just two lines of configuration. If there is one language in the queue that you're quite sure we should add, you could start trying with that and see how it goes.

OK - I'll give it a go when I have enough free time and energy to learn something new.

Thanks! Note, you can also use mw:Gerrit patch uploader.

Sure. I'll be there, and can do. Or try to come to Zurich for the Wikimedia European hackathon?

Thank you for the invitation to Zurich. However, I'm not free to travel there in May.
