We need to go though the whole New Language Process as we did for "ug" with Gheyret Kenji Please notice however, that a new translation adds an extra size to the installer so we need some good rock solid rationale for adding a variant of an existing language. Also, variants have not been proven as working properly as of now : we for instance have a "sr@latin" variant for Serbian that is not activated yet because supporting it requires changes to localechooser that nobody did until now. (the main problem comes from the fact that localechooser assumes that the chosen language code and the chosen country can be concatenated : fr for language then FR as country, give "fr_FR".....while this doesn't work for "sr@latin" combined with a country code such as "RS" as the locale should be "sr_RS@latin", not sr@latin_RS)
