[Bug 1922308] Re: Please add Pennsylvania German locale file

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for your suggested locale. Ubuntu uses the locales provided by
glibc, though, so the right place to request a new locale is here:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=glibc;component=localedata

If you submit a request to upstream glibc, please post the URL to it
here for tracking purposes.

Have you? I can't see that the language exists in Launchpad, for
instance.

Some hints before you proceed:

You should keep in mind that translating Ubuntu is not only about
Ubuntu. It's about translating free software for Linux, i.e. a huge
undertaking.

Would there be enough translators to translate tens of thousands of
strings (at least) into Pennsylvania German and then maintain those
translations when software is upgraded or replaced? And how many users
would find it useful to have menus and windows displayed in Pennsylvania
German?
