Thank you for the clarification.

Understood: KDE on Linux relies on glibc locales for language selection.

I will work on creating a glibc locale first ( brh_PK.UTF-8),  and then
submitting it upstream to glibc.

Two quick questions so I follow the right path:

   1.

   Once a glibc locale exists (brh_PK.UTF-8), is that sufficient for KDE to
   add/enable the Brahui translation team, or or are there other prerequisi=
tes
   before you can proceed?
   2.

   Do you recommend starting with one locale only (brh_PK) first, and
   considering additional region variants later (e.g., Afghanistan/Iran) on=
ly
   if needed?

Thanks again,
Hammad

Hello,<br>
<br>
It seems that there is no glibc locale yet for brh. Without glibc locale, <=
br>
there will be no locale to select the KDE software&#39;s language translati=
on. <br>
This has been discussed previously several times, see e.g. https://<br>
