Hi, thank you for your support. But I have to admit that I'm sceptical. Let me explain: The language with the least number of native speakers we currently support is Belarussian with approximately 3,700,000 speakers. If the numbers in Wikipedia are correct, Scottish Gaelic is natively spoken by 63,000 people, right?
The problem is not in the number of speakers. Actually, the problem is in the number of potential translators. In contrast to most other projects, Enigma's translations are vast and ever-growing, as the number of levels steadily grows. There is no end on the effort. In languages with many speakers, there are many people who can continue with the translation in case the original translator cannot continue her work. In Scottish Gaelic, you and maybe Yannis will be the only ones who can do the translation. It will be a task for a life-time for you. Are you really willing to accept this burden? Best regards, Andreas (I wanted to use a Gaelic "best regards", but Google Translator does not support it ... what is it in Scottish Gaelic? :-) ) Am 17.02.2014 23:33, schrieb Fòram na Gàidhlig: > Hi all, > > I'd like to start working my way through translating this excellent > game into Scottish Gaelic :) > > The locale is gd or gd_GB, encoding UTF-8. > > I have already sent a request to be added to the Transifex project. > > The flag would usually be the Scottish flag, but we will have a > problem there if somebody should want to translate the game into Scots > in the future, because it's the same flag (Scotland is a multilingual > country).
