Hoi,
Current policy is that most if not all messages need to be translated.That
is unlikely to happen for Neapolitan. For Wikisource it does matter not
that much because it is mostly effective as a tool.
The notion that it currently works within the Italian Wikisource is not
really an argument. It matters what language Wikisource is because it
allows for defaults specific for that language.
The notion that some peopl think that a language is a dialect is not here
or there. It is utterly irrelevant.
Thanks,
GerardM
