Thank you so much Rafal,
putting this in detail and making us heading towards identification of next
set of languages to get added.
Let me take a deeper look on locale variants and their translators. I guess
with a study we can sort this.
Hope to update on this shortly.
regards,
sundeep

Thanks, great job!

1. I think that a list of languages in Zanata has disappeared recently. :-(
2.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_India
I think that you have not included all languages of India but I leave
the final decision to you.
3. What about British English? Should we treat US English as a basic
language and UK English as needing its own translation or ignore the
differences?
4.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Europe#List_of_languages
Sort by the number of L1 speakers descending. I think that this list
is little misleading because for example it lists multiple dialects
of German and Italian as separate languages while (AFAIK) they are not
supported by any software. So here is a list of languages spoken by more
than 1 million people in Europe which you have not yet included:
Armenian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Danish, Albanian, Finnish, Slovak,
Norwegian (you may distinguish between Norwegian Nynorsk and Norwegian
Bokmål), Tatar, Catalan, Georgian, Belarusian, Lithuanian, Bosnian,
Galician, Slovene (or Slovenian), Latvian, Romani, Chechen, Macedonian,
Bashkir, Estonian, Chuvash, Kazakh. You may remove from this list the
languages which don't have active translators.
4a. I apologize other continents for my lack of knowledge of their
languages.
5. I think it is worth checking if these languages which are official
languages of some countries or territories have actual active
translators:
Welsh, Maltese, Azerbaijani, Luxembourgish, Icelandic, Montenegrin,
Irish, Scots, Faroese.
6. Also I think we should include Friulian and Scottish Gaelic due to
their very active translators.
7. Serbian may need two variants: Cyrillic and Latin. If you support only
one variant then maybe you should write which one you support. You may
ask the actual translators for their opinion. The same may apply to
Kazakh language.
