Add Brahui (brh) to the Transifex supported language list

Hello,

I would like to request that Brahui (brh) be added as a globally supported language in Transifex so that it can be enabled normally across Transifex projects.

Language information:

  • English name: Brahui
  • Native name: براہوئی
  • ISO 639-3 code: brh
  • BCP 47 language tag: brh
  • Primary script: Arabic (Arab)
  • Secondary script: Latin (Latn)
  • Primary territory: Pakistan (PK)
  • Likely locale: brh-Arab-PK
  • Writing direction: Right-to-left (RTL)

Plural information:

  • nplurals: 2
  • pluralequation: n != 1
  • rule_one: n is 1
  • rule_other: everything else

This plural model is already used by established localization platforms. Canonical’s Launchpad/Ubuntu registers Brahui as an active RTL language with two plural forms: form 0 for 1, and form 1 for 0, 2, 3, 4, 5..., corresponding to n != 1.

Mozilla Pontoon also recognizes Brahui (brh) as an Arabic-script, right-to-left language with the plural categories one and other, and Brahui is already active in Mozilla localization infrastructure.

Weblate’s language data likewise defines Brahui with two plural forms and the gettext plural expression n != 1.

Unicode CLDR 49 now includes Brahui locale data and identifies Arabic as the primary script for Brahui, with Latin also used as a secondary script.

Brahui is therefore already represented in major localization and internationalization infrastructure, but it is currently missing from Transifex’s global supported-language list.

I am a Brahui translator and am available to actively contribute translations once Brahui is enabled.

Please let me know if you need any additional linguistic, locale, plural-rule, or standards information to create the brh language entry.

Thank you.

Hello @hammad,

I am Antonis from the Transifex team. Nice to meet you!

Thank you for your feedback. I will share your language request with our team and let you know once it’s available.

Hi @Mylon

Just checking if there has been any update on adding Brahui to Transifex.

Please let me know if you need anything else from me for the language entry.

Thanks!

Hello @hammad,

I talked with our team last week, and they are making some updates to how we handle adding new languages, which means there’s a batch of languages, including the one you suggested, that will be added as soon as the work on that is done.

I will check with the team again today, and once this batch of languages is added, I will notify you by replying in this thread.

In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance, and I will be happy to help.

Thanks for the update, really appreciate you checking with the team.

No questions for now.

Thanks again
