What is the zanata version or server that we are looking at here? Thanks.
Comment 2 Parag Nemade 2012-07-02 13:53:27 UTC 
zanata-python-client-1.3.5-1.fc17.noarch
zanata python client version: 1.3.5, zanata server API version: 1.5.0
Comment 3 Sean Flanigan 2012-07-03 05:35:56 UTC 
We will need the plural rules for these languages.  We get our plural information here:  http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/l10n/pluralforms

Do you know where we can get Gettext plural rules for these languages?
Comment 4 Parag Nemade 2012-07-03 06:02:14 UTC 
doi Dogri nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1) 
hne Chhattisgarhi nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1) 
mni Manipuri nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1) 
sat Santali nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1) 
sd Sindhi nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1) 

and for one more language 
brx Bodo nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1)
Comment 5 Sean Flanigan 2012-07-03 07:32:16 UTC 
Thanks, we'll try to get the data in soon.  Would you please pass on the plural information to http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/l10n/pluralforms ?

Comment 7 Ding-Yi Chen 2012-07-20 02:01:15 UTC 
Test with Zanata version 1.7-SNAPSHOT (20120720-0026):

Languages does not show in pulldown after typing the first 1 characters:
doi, hne, mni, sat, sd.


Moreover, for hne, Language Name is still the "hne".

REASSIGNED.
Comment 8 Sean Flanigan 2012-07-20 03:05:48 UTC 
Not all locales show in the drop-down list on the Language Management page, but it might make a good RFE.

We get our language names from ICU4J, which apparently gets locale data from CLDR.  They mustn't have hne yet.  However, it should still work in Zanata for translation, joining the language team etc, it just won't have a name until it is added to ICU.
Comment 9 Sean Flanigan 2012-07-20 03:29:47 UTC 
I've added the plural information to http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/l10n/pluralforms .
Comment 10 Ding-Yi Chen 2012-07-20 04:20:41 UTC 
Parag, do you think we can close this bug at the present state: 
i.e. User can push pull, and use Web UI to translate, but no typing suggestion for admin to add the language.

Or you perfer we close the bug after everything is ready?
Comment 11 Parag Nemade 2012-07-20 04:42:37 UTC 
Thanks Sean for committing this new language data.

dchen, you can close this bug. If above mentioned things are working.
Comment 12 Ding-Yi Chen 2012-07-20 05:10:05 UTC 
VERIFIED with Zanata version 1.7.0-alpha-2-SNAPSHOT (20120720-1208)
Comment 13 Sean Flanigan 2012-07-20 05:21:38 UTC 
I put in the RFE as bug 841735.
