Want to add Cajun French

Asked by Benjamin Eunice

So, I'm looking into the possibility of translating Ubuntu into Cajun French, or Louisiana French, which is a relatively distinct dialect of French that is almost never supported, and I'd like to help make that happen for Ubuntu. I'm not a developer so I don't know what it takes to get a language added to the list of supported languages. Could be listed as francais (Louisiane) or francais cadien(or cadjin). It is considered more technically correct to refer to the language as Louisiana French, however either is acceptable. The ISO language code is frc.

You should probably start with the various steps in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/AddingNewLanguage; there will be quite a lot of pieces to put together.

I've gone ahead and added https://translations.launchpad.net/+languages/frc.
