Request for Irish (ga) Locale Support #68291

Closed

Description

@simonckenyon

Use case

Whilst adding I18N support for my app, I discovered that Irish (ga) is not one of the supported languages in the flutter_localizations package.

Proposal

Please consider adding it as one of the supported languages.

    We have tried to support the same locales as Android. Android 11 does support Irish, https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-11.0.0_r1/core/res/res/values/locale_config.xml, so we can look into adding that.

    I just looked at our internal list of supported Android languages and Irish (ga) does not appear on there, so it seems unlikely that we will be supporting ga in the near future.

    However, as Hans has pointed out, it appears on a list of locales under locale_config.xml, so I'm clarifying with our i18n team on what that particular list of locales actually means.

    Just circling back to this to confirm that Irish (ga) is not a supported Android language.

    However, in the meantime, you could write your own custom localizations delegate to support it. It might even make a good third-party package that others could use.

    hey @HansMuller & @shihaohong
    I'm also having this issue for Irish and Maltese:

    1. ga_IE (Irish/Gaeilge)
    2. mt_MT (Maltese/Malti)

    Both are supported by Android 11. Could we reopen the issue and track these?
