how to create a new language pack & dictionary for a language not yet in Firefox's list of languages

more options

Hello,

I am a linguist working for the national language commission of the Marshall Islands.

This country's national and official language, Marshallese, is not in the list of Firefox's languages to add the Settings menu. I have Googled extensively and searched within the Mozilla site about how to add a new language to this list, but without success. All the results are about changing/selecting a language that is on the list, but I want to add to the list with a language that is not on the list right now.

Could you please refer some office / person at Mozilla to approach in order to go about creating a language pack / dictionary? Or is there some web resource I have missed?

I can do some coding, and I believe I am capable of writing any software needed for these programs. And if I can't do it, I can hire consultants/contractors.

If government / official permission is needed, I can get this too.

I would really like to know what to do in order to get the Marshallese language added to the list of available languages in Firefox.

Many Thanks, N.W.

Hi Nikolas, there is a page about localizing existing language strings in the product: https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Contribute

For a completely new language, you need to use the contact information at the bottom of the page to see whether it can be added to the Pontoon site: https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Mozilla_Team

I think dictionaries are different; I have the impression that anyone can create an add-on dictionary (but this might not be visible from within Firefox and requires extra steps to install).
