i just created my account to want to translate IDeditor for OSM. but on transifex there are three languages with the name Punjabi or Panjabi these are - Panjabi (Punjabi) pa, Panjabi (Punjabi) (India) (pa_IN) and Panjabi (Pakistan) (pa_PK). I’m a native speaker of Punjabi or sometimes written as Panjabi and there are two different scripts used to write this language - Gurmukhi (in India) and Shahmukhi (in Pakistan). the language code for Punjabi (Gurmukhi) is ‘Pa’ and for Punjabi (Shahmukhi) is Pnb. But i don’t know how three different codes are there on transifex.
Hello @Kuldeepburjbhalaike,
I am Antonis from the Transifex Customer Success team.
Thank you for bringing this up! Let me clarify the different Punjabi language codes:
- ‘pa’ - This is the standard ISO 639-1 code for Punjabi (primarily associated with Gurmukhi script)
- ‘pa_IN’ - This is a locale-specific code for Punjabi as used in India
- ‘pnb’ - This is the ISO 639-3 code that specifically represents Western Punjabi, written in Shahmukhi script and commonly used in Pakistan.
For IDeditor OSM translations, there should be different teams for each locale, and you can request to join the team for whichever one you want to contribute towards.
I hope this helps!
