Hello Albert,
I am following up on our earlier discussion about adding Brahui (brh)
as a KDE translation language/team.
The brh_PK locale has now been accepted and merged into GNU glibc, so
the prerequisite we discussed has been completed.
Now that the brh_PK glibc locale has been merged, could you please let
me know what the next steps are for adding Brahui (brh) to KDE?
In particular, which current translation files should I prepare, and
where/how should I submit them for review?
Thank you,
Hammad
