Additional Translation

Select2 dropdowns

The dropdowns use Select2 widgets. You need to provide a localised version for your language. Look at the currently available languages and confirm if your language is available or not.

Note that you are editing JavaScript here. Also note that you will need to manually add code to handle your plural forms correctly, or adjust the translations to eliminate any plural differentiation.

Internationalization

CLDR

Pootle will make use of the CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository) for the following:

1. Dates
2. Number formatting

If your language is not part of the Unicode Consortium's CLDR then it will display in the site language, usually English.
