create new language for translation (S'gaw Karen)

Thank you for contributing to the world's access to computing! I have just created the language for you: https://translations.launchpad.net/+languages/ksw

To complete this we'll need to know what plural forms the language may have and when they apply. I suspect there will only be a singular ("there are 0 files," "there are 1 files," "there are 2 files") but please confirm.

If you wish to set up a team to manage translations into this language on Launchpad, you'll also need to create a team for it, and apply for it to join translation groups.

We have documentation about this, and I think a good starting point would be https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/JoiningATranslationGroup

Thanks for this,

No the S'gaw Karen don't use plurals. only collective pronouns such as
"Everyone", "Everybody", "All"

Hope this helps.

Regards
Ross

Nice job,
Thx Jeroen T. Vermeulen and Ross Hansen.
Hello Ross Hansen, we can contribute with tech and how to localize guide ?

Hi Kokoye,

Can you speak Karen or S'gaw.
If I understand correctly you are from Burma, are you not?

Ross

Hello Ross Hansen

I can't speak Karen, also S'gaw Karen,
but we can support technical.
also we can organize event or team work.

Now Shn (Shan) Team and Burmese (Myanmar) Team is working in process.
you can see burmese is 45% done, Shn is maybe 14.04.

Now we make LoCo Team and most event.

we proud with your job.
and special thx to JTV

Hi Kokoye,

One of the biggest problems I have is that I can't type in Karen.
It is unrecognised and just looks like random letters in english.

What I have to do instead is to write Karen in the english spelling. This is not ideal however I can't see any other way around it.

I can make xkb keyboard and iBus keyboard for S'Gaw Karen

Thanks Kokoye,

So if you do this, I will be able to provide the translation into the Karen font?
Does this mean that when the language pack is available for installation on Linux Mint, it will be in Karen Font?
