i10n african and creole languages support missing
Last modified: 2008-12-14 21:00:13 UTC
i'm missing support on african (kimbundu, zulu, xhosa and others) and creole (jamaican, capeverdian, etc.) languages on l10n: do they exists anyway? there are people used to have these languages as their main language...
Could you tell us exactly where they are missing? All languages which have some translations in GNOME should be listed on http://l10n.gnome.org/languages
If the reporter complains about non-existing language teams then this is not a bug at all.

However, there is no way we can add support for languages without volunteers or a magic wand. For the affected languages, we have none of those, unless the reporter is volunteering himself?
I've commented this before - if we want to keep feature requests for "Support language foo" or even "Bring language bar to 100%" then I will write a script to file a billion reports in the next days. No.

Don't take me wrong. I was merely pointing out that it is still technically a feature request, even if it is worthless and adds nothing of value -- we already know we do not cover a lot of languages. But saying "this is not a bug" is to give the wrong reason. "This feature request adds nothing of value, because we already know this, and without volunteers there is nothing we can do about it" would have been a better reasoning.
