Formal & informal variants for Latvian language

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Describe the problem

The current implementation of the Latvian language in Weblate lacks differentiation between formal and informal variants of address. Latvian, like many languages (e.g., Russian, German, and Spanish), possesses distinct formal and informal modes of address that are used depending on the social context, the relationship between the speaker and the listener, and the level of politeness intended. Without this distinction available, we can't maintain both variants of our texts using Weblate.

Describe the solution you would like

Implement two separate options for Latvian: "Latvian (Formal)" and "Latvian (Informal)". This could be implemented similarly to how other languages with formal and informal address forms are handled within the platform.
