636988 - [zu] Enable Zulu localization on SUMO

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(support.mozilla.org :: Localization, task)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

We need to enable the localization of SUMO in Zulu [zu].

Not sure what we want to do exactly, but we should at least make sumo aware that 'zu' is a locale code coming in.

Re what to do exactly, there are other ZA locales, nso (bug 590171) and en-ZA. Maybe we should build up more of an en-ZA support env rather than doing that per language.

Does that require localising the Support Mozilla component on Verbatim?

I think this might be a better approach until we can validate that there is a large enough Zulu speaking user community.

Dwayne, if you want to talk a bout a specific support strategy, let me know please. We are adding these languages individually for now since for the others the localizers have indicated they do want to provide support in the language, but even if that turns out not to be the case the fall-back language is always English.

No plans at the moment for Zulu support.  We need to be able to grow and retain a Zulu speaking community before we can start offering that.
