EDIT: Now updated with ISO 639-1 codes!
Do you speak Croatian (hr), Breton (br), or Scottish Gaelic( gd)?
All three of those languages have slipped under 70% translation for Thunderbird for Android! Normally this would mean removing them from the app. But we're hoping we can rally some translators to help complete these languages - or at least get them over 70% translated!

@thunderbird While I can speak a little of Breton, Irish Garlic and Croatian and others, I'm not fluent enough to help. Wish I could but but perhaps someone else will.
@LanguageMan1 As a bit of a language magpie ourselves, we understand that feeling, but thanks for the kind message!
@thunderbird Which Gaelic do you mean - Irish or Scottish?
#gaidhlig
@baz Sorry for not including the language code! This is Scottsh Gaelic, with the 'gd' ISO 639-1 language code.
@baz Thanks for the hashtag
@thunderbird completely snowed under right now, but we'd like to keep the gd locale going. Thanks for not removing it yet!
@baz A bheil Gàidhlig agad fhèin?
@gunchleoc I’m afraid I don’t :-(
@gunchleoc @baz Thank you for offering to step up! The response to this post has been so encouraging, and we hope that gd not only gets over 70%, but all the way to 100%!
@thunderbird It's become a struggle to keep up with everything - we're basically 2 volunteer localizers for anything at all, except for the guy who does Minecraft.
Gaelic is a whole family of languages including Irish, Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Breton and a number of others. You'd need to be more specific.
@ratcatcher We updated the post with the codes for all the languages - it's Scottish Gaelic (gd)! Sorry for not being more specific in the original post.
@thunderbird Do you speak GDPR? Opt out of data collecting is illegal...
@thunderbird K9 did not collect user data, tbird beta does, and it is active per default, but can be toggled of. This behavior violates the GDPR.
@thunderbird did you fix your opt-out data collection to be an actually user friendly opt-in yet?
@thunderbird @sheep If this isn't a job for you I don't know what is.
People should not be doing free labor for #Mozilla ad networks via @thunderbird
Yup. Mozilla using the #community hashtag to fish for suckers reminds me of all the businesses saying "we're a family" to employees given shitshow unpaid overtime.
I bet any PR staff relied on to strategise the fuckups away don't work for free.
@ewen y a un hashtag spécial pour relayer ça auprès des bretonnants ?
@thunderbird How about ‘malayalam’ ?
@anandu This language is more complete, but if you'd like to contribute to bringing it closer to completion, we always welcome new translators! https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/tb-android/-/ml/
@thunderbird YOU have now motivated me to take up the study of 1 of those 4 languages!
@jstatepost Excellent! Take that, judgemental green language learning owl who will not be named!
Completing the Gàidhlig translation of Thunderbird email client on Android would be a great community project. A small amount of Scottish government funding/support would help too.
@chillypenguin Oh, this is a really good idea - both for this language and others that are in danger of falling under 70% translated. We'll definitely pass it on to our new community manager once we hire them, and maybe we could do some outreach!
