Problem/Motivation

Problem

I've started learning Hawaiian, and wanted to say so on my d.o profile, but there's no such option. Perhaps I'll start mentoring some folks here, and if I got anyone interested enough to try to contribute and create a d.o account, if that's not a choice for language, it'd be alienating.

Motivation

Since the U.S. Marines overthrew the royal family and installed a government that would agree to join the US as the 50th state, many people in Hawai'i consider this an illegitimate, colonial occupation. After decades of repression, in the last ~30 years there's been a resurgence of traditional Hawaiian language and cultural practices. There are now Hawaiian language immersion schools, and a growing number of people, both Kānaka Maoli (so-called "Native Hawaiians") and haoles (outsiders) like me, are learning to read, write and speak ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Edit a user account (e.g. https://www.drupal.org/user/46549/edit )
  2. Scroll to the bottom and select "Language & Location" vertical tab
  3. Use either the primary or secondary language selectors.
  4. Try to pick "Hawaiian".

Proposed resolution

Add 'Hawaiian' as a choice in the d.o language selector ("ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi" in the places where you can translate it like the main language selector).

Remaining tasks

  1. Get agreement.
  2. Have someone with perms add the option to the spots d.o can control independently of core.
