[Bug 1926312] Re: Please add the new rif_Ma locale

[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.

I saw that you have requested that Tarifit is added to the Launchpad
languages. 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 Tarifit 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 Tarifit?

I'm not suggesting it can't be done, but I'm trying to make sure that
you understand the scope of the project.

** Package changed: langpack-locales (Ubuntu) => glibc (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Wishlist
