Subject: Request to add Finnish (fi_FI) as a language for this project on Weblate

Good morning. What is the constantly renewed disappointment of having to
note that even today there are projects whose sites are poorly constructed
and omit essential content. As with such a site, invariably we can see that
the same error keeps being repeated; Make it complicated for the sake of
making it complicated. See for yourself what this resulted in at
https://cygwin.com/: nothing about localization, and therefore nothing, nor
about the localization contribution of the application installer
setup-x86_64.exe. nor about the existence of the localization platform that
this project has chosen – Weblate. So in this context, it is of course
futile to carry out a search engine search against the keywords "cygwin"
and "localization" in the hope of seeing the said platform cited.

Finally, the very choice of this platform easily turns out to have been a
mistake; However, it was hardly the localization platforms including a
communication channel to contact the project maintainer that were missing
when this choice was made. Despite this, someone from this project found a
way to choose one whose said service was lacking. See how this leads to
wasting the time of any new person interested in this contribution. How do
you usually go about satisfying a request as trivial as this? Sincerely.
