Can't add Haitian (ht) or Māori (mi)

Question

Can't add Haitian (ht) or Māori (mi)

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 6 comments

yarn run add-locale ht

Result:

Unknown locale: ht.

In locales.js:

  return (
    localeData !== null &&
    localeData !== undefined &&
    localeData.language in _makePlural2.default
  );

It looks like it's not finding ht in the make-plural library. Ideas?

Perhaps the make-plural function needs to be wrapped? Compare: https://github.com/messageformat/messageformat/blob/master/packages/messageformat/lib/plurals.js

As described in make-plural eemeli/make-plural#11, CLDR is missing plural rules for Maori and Haitian. The wrapper would solve the problem as a temporary solution until these languages are added to CLDR.

Do you know what plural rules these languages use? If so, feel free to send a PR. I believe we could have just an object of locale data for each locale and if the locale code doesn't exists in CLDR, we would pull own config.

It'd be nice to have a fallback for these situations that doesn't break the whole build (especially in scenarios where we support dozens of other languages).

I’ve bumped into this same issue today too (also for Maori) and it would definitely be nice to have a mechanism for specifying additional custom locales.
