[11:32] <Nart> Hello, I need help with translation issue
[11:32] <Nart> Anyone from the official Ubuntu team?
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> GunnarHj: hello, one user in #ubuntu-next mentioned this;
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> <Nart>  Thank you, I added to the Abkhazian language to glibc 2.35 and Gnome 42, but I couldn't pick the language in 22.04
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> <Nart> language code is abkhaz - ab
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> <rdr> do you mean during the install? or as your input method?
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> <Nart> During the install, and as input method, both, it's not there at all.
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> <Nart> in glibc 2.35 it's ab_GE
[14:46] <lotuspsychje> just for the info
[15:05] <lotuspsychje> (he currently left)
[15:20] <GunnarHj> lotuspsychje: ab_GE is a new locale in jammy, but there are few translations and no language packs for ab, so the language is not ready as an option in the installer. You may want to tell him that if he returns. :/
[15:20] <lotuspsychje> thank you GunnarHj !
[17:28] <ubuntubridgebot> [telegram] <Nart> Thank you, I didn't leave but I moved to Telegram
[17:30] <ubuntubridgebot> [telegram] <Nart> GunnerHj 3% has been translated from Gnome, if it's not in the installer, can we at least have it in language support setting?
[17:32] <ubuntubridgebot> [telegram] <Nart> lotuspsychje thank you for your effort 👍
[17:34] <ubuntubridgebot> [telegram] <Nart> What is the minimum percentage required to localize, in order to include it in the language support setting and the installer?
[19:19] <GunnarHj> Nart: The barrier is 5% of the translations in Ubuntu at Launchpad, i.e. here:
[19:19] <GunnarHj> https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/+lang/ab
[19:19] <GunnarHj> The coverage now is 0.4%, i.e. approximately another 14,500 strings need to be translated.
[19:19] <GunnarHj> And I see that the Abkhazian translators team hasn't been approved yet for translation via the Launchpad interface. That is something which needs to be fixed.

[20:38] <ubuntubridgebot> [telegram] <Nart> As a team we have very limited resources, we can't open a second front right now, for now we will focus on translating Gnome, this should get us to 5% in Ubuntu (re @ubuntu_bridge_Bot: (irc) <GunnarHj> And I see that the Abkhazian translators team hasn't been approved yet for translation via the Launchpad interface. That is something which needs to be fixed.)
[22:07] <GunnarHj> Nart: Translating GNOME is indeed good, but I don't think that any language with language packs exists where everything else is ignored. TBH I doubt that such approach would be accepted.
