Kurdish is one of the languages in progress. However I think it is necessary to classify which one of the Kurdish dialects it is. Kurdish language family consists of many major dialects: Kurmanji, Sorani, Palewani, Zaza and Gorani. Mostly spoken among these are Kurmanji and Sorani. I am guessing th…

If the language is on our standard list, it can be added to pontoon as a new language: https://unicode-org.github.io/cldr-staging/charts/37/supplemental/languages_and_scripts.html If it’s not listed there as a language, we’ll capture phonetic differences through accents. Today I’ll be posting an b…

do we have any updates here? We still dont have Kurmanji with latin script option.

Can you help us understand which language are you referring to? I see: Central Kurdish ckb N Arabic Kurdish ku N Arabic Cyrillic Latin Southern Kurdish sdh N Arabic Thanks!

I am referring to Northern Kurdish (ku) in Latin script. (Honestly I dont think this dialect is used in Arabic or Cyrillic script at all. Latin should be sufficient.) I am seeing the language in the list, but strangely I cannot contribute to that. Is there any other process involved in that?

OK, I see where the issue is coming from, the Kudish enabled on pontoon was localized using the Arabic script instead of the Latin one. We are currently investigating how we can enable a language with different scripts. Let me circle back to the team since we need to understand how to make our plat…

For kurdish language now there are 3 common active dialects 1- Kurmanji the most common dialect in kurdish - usage latin 95% so you can write kurmanci as kurdish(kurmanji) -kurmanji -usage arabic 5% this very little you can write its name in arabic as kurdish(کورمانجی) 2-Sorani -arabic you…

It would great if you could check the list I linked to let us know which locale codes are you referring to. In the list there are no common names, just Kurdish and the script used.

ok in that list kurdish is so: |Kurdish|[ku] |Arabic|Arab|| |Cyrillic|Cyrl| |Latin|Latn| Then as this list you will show kurdish in three names 1-Kurdish /Arabic 2-Kurdish/Cyrillic 3-Kurdish/Latin

Thanks for the info, we are still scoping how to support different scripts, which is something we haven’t done yet. I’ve passed this to the dev team and we will come back once we have more clarity on a plan. Thanks for your patience!
