Add Hawaiian (ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi) language to l.d.o

I'll be the team leader for now. I'm https://localize.drupal.org/user/14. My knowledge of the language is still very small, but it's growing. Hopefully we can find other folks who want to work on this together. 🙏

Needs review seems appropriate. Do we need any other info here before we can proceed?

Thanks!

From 📌 Add Yoruba language to l.d.o Active I see we need info on the plural forms. Sadly, there's no info at https://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/localization-guide/en/latest/l1... yet for Hawaiian.

My understanding is still quite limited, but so far, I've only encountered that the article in front of a word determines if it's singular or plural, and there's only ever a single way to express "more than 1" as the plural form. What article you need to use might vary on the word being translated, but I've never seen more than 2 plurals. I don't yet know how 0 works. 😅 But tentatively, I believe we can use nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);.

Oh right, I forgot that there's a distinction between us (only 2 people) and we (3 or more total people). E.g.

"Ua hele ʻoe i ke kula?" => Did you (one person) go to school?
"Ua hele ʻolua i ke kula?" => Did you two go to school?
"Ua hele ʻoukou i ke kula?" => Did you (three or more people) go to school?

So I guess we need at least:
nplurals=3; plural=n==1 ? 0 : n==2 ? 1 : 2;

I don't think this will impact the plural form for interface translation 😅, but this is pretty interesting:

"Hawaiian distinguishes between singular, dual, and plural. The dual pronouns refer to groups of two people (we two, you two, they two). The plural pronouns refer to groups of three or more... Hawaiian distinguishes between inclusive and exclusive pronouns in the first person dual and plural. There are four Hawaiian pronouns where English uses one word, 'we'." (Hopkins 1992:31).

Meaning of first person plural types:
Dual Inclusive: You and me
Dual Exclusive: We two (not including you)
Plural Inclusive: All of us
Plural Exclusive: We, but not you

Here's a very preliminary haw.po with the updated plural forms.

Hah, great! Do you know anyone else who would be interested in contributing to this?

Don’t have anyone else, yet. But I aspire to find some interested folks and try to foster collaboration and contribution…

Verified the language code on https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subta....

Created https://localize.drupal.org/translate/languages/haw and made you an admin. Translate away!

Fabulous, thanks!
