Have a nice life, dear contributors of "libc-locales" project.
My name is Halena.
My native country is Belarus.
I am user of "Linux Mint" OS.
My job is to translate the interface of the system from English to
Belarussian (taraskievitsa).
Nowadays, "Linux Mint" has "be" and "be-latin" locales, but I do not use
any of these variations.
Please, could You add new locale "be-tarask" to the list of available
languages?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Halena

Asking the same question as I did when this request was made at Ubuntu:
I can't help wondering about the reason why you would need it. There are
already translations of Linux software into Belarusian, and the
be_BY.UTF-8 locale is present.
Are you thinking of establishing a second Belarusian translation variant
of Linux software using the Taraškievica orthography? If so, have you
considered which huge undertaking that would be? Are there enough
Belarusian (Taraškievica) translators available for such a project?
Not saying it can't be done; just advising you to think twice.

Note that there have been previous discussions on this topic:
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-locales/2020q1/006998.html>
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-locales/2020q2/007024.html>
I don't think anything has changed since then.
Thanks,
Florian
