<p dir="auto">This selection is overdue for a reconsideration. Today it contains Romanian which is 0% translated, and it does not contain Tamil which is 100% translated.</p>
<p dir="auto">While looking at this, I'm wondering, from which percentage on would you think it is reasonable to promote a translation. I think there should be a threshold, where if the translation is less complete than that, it's not really a service to our users to pretend that we <em>have</em> that language in the docs.</p>

<p dir="auto">As I said before, I think it would be best to create a new post to maximise the chances that the right people can react to your questions, rather than burry your questions here in this thread. I don't have access to the blog</p>

<p dir="auto">Let me first remind you that Ubuntu Touch consists of many individual pieces. Many apps, websites and system components. And there is no single person that can flip a switch somewhere to enable it <em>everywhere</em>. Certainly, <em>I</em> personally don't have access to all places. Let alone that even <em>finding</em> all the places is probably a non-trivial task in itself.</p>
<p dir="auto">I suggest you create a new thread here in the forum about Tamil language support and then give <em>specific</em> examples where you are missing the translation. I have no doubt that the community will then help to find the places where this needs to be enabled and find the right people to contact to do this.</p>

<p dir="auto">docs are written in gitlab: <a href="https://gitlab.com/ubports/docs/docs.ubports.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://gitlab.com/ubports/docs/docs.ubports.com</a> in English and translated in weblate: <a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/ubports/doc-ubports-com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/ubports/doc-ubports-com</a> . Currently weblate has 29 languages (next to English) enabled. As far as I understand every weblate user can add a language.</p>
<p dir="auto">The docs are set up to translate into 9 languages. A user can select the language in the bottom right corner anywhere on the docs website<br />
<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1747140085763-b1e128fe-9dc1-4efb-b1e1-07c862bc6f0c-image.png" alt="b1e128fe-9dc1-4efb-b1e1-07c862bc6f0c-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /> .</p>
<p dir="auto">We also prominently show the languages on the docs start page<br />
<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1747140153799-43a744f7-3078-4c71-93b1-0baf10b44ae8-image.png" alt="43a744f7-3078-4c71-93b1-0baf10b44ae8-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">On the one hand, thinking abstractly about this, maybe one could come up with two numbers. A low number, maybe even 0, or maybe 5, or 10 or whatever and every language that's at least as translated as that will be enabled and shown in the (hard to find) bottom right corner. Mostly as a means to promote the idea of translations and assist translators in their work. The second number would be more for, what's actually a useful level for a non english speaker to attempt to make use of their native language version. Purely gut feeling, I'd like to say ... 90% ... 80?!</p>
<p dir="auto">But now on the other hand, in reality, out of those 29 translations in weblate, the percentages are overall quite low. In decreasing order:</p>
<ul>
<li>100% Tamil</li>
<li>50% Russian</li>
<li>39% Italian</li>
<li>36% French</li>
<li>33% Galician</li>
<li>28% German</li>
<li>27% Chinese traditional</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">the rest are below 20%. So, considering this, I wonder whether it's justified to prominently advertise non-english versions at all - except for Tamil</p>
