Sorry, i forgot to add all mails to CC

I have a another request, please delete "ta_LK" from entire koha and keep only "ta" (tamil) in the platform. Currently it seems no one contribute to the tamil language.
Reasons: 1. "ta_LK" is an unnecessary version with loan words. 2. This behavior slow down translation speed for tamil language 3. If many people accustomed to using it then affect to the language quality
// It needs a new dedicated thread on koha-translate as I don't have rights on the translation platform and some questions need clarification before deleting a language. Here is a first from me. Isn't ta_LK the Tamil variant that is spoken by 28.5% of the people in Sri Lanka? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Sri_Lanka Or is the variant actually used a little and most Tamil speakers speak simply Tamil without specific Sri Lanka variations? -------------------
No. Tamil language speak in multiple countries and it doesn't have/or need variants. (+according to our language and history knowledge). See side panel "regions with population" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamils
Some are try to add variants to IT products for political purposes but this behavior itself affect to tamil people and speakers as mentioned. If someone try to create a variant, it definitely contain more, ancient greek, english, dutch, portuguese, sinhala, malay etc
e.g. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_loanwords_in_other_languages#In_Sinhala

Also, i can speak tamil fluently then i will contribute to it in my free time
Great news :D you need to also ask to be made translator, reviewer or admin for tamil so you will be able to work on it. -----------
Okey. thank you^^
