As is, this errors when the language is selected. Probably because of the underscore in the language name.

Thanks for the PR. I added the language in weblate , so it is probably a setting there. Would need to check if it is able to use what you suggest here instead

Like this it works and follows the ISO naming convention. Changed from ckb_IQ to ku fixed the error. Had to add the empty keys to solve new errors. Also added some missing language files.

Do you have to change something in Weblate for this to show up? Or does it auto update if merged?

Thanks for the fixes. Now I can pull the code back into weblate. Then I'll need to check if the files end up in the correct place.

@BudsieBuds now the language appears as 'Kurdish' and not as the Iraqi variant the author originally suggested. I guess the proper fix would be to name the folder ckb-IQ as we do with nl-BE and nl-NL? wdyt

@jekkos I overlooked this and assumed it was Kurdish. After some research, I found that adding the country code (ISO 3166) isn’t necessary. Since Central Kurdish lacks a two-letter code under ISO 639-1, I've switched to using the three-letter code from ISO 639-3 instead. The country code may be added in the future if there are more variants. Updated for merging here: #4211. 👍

Kurds primarily speak three different dialects:

kmr – Northern Kurdish (it might be worth considering including this if someone requests it),
spoken in mainly Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Armenia, Azerbaijan.

ckb – Central Kurdish (this is the dialect I speak),
spoken in mainly in Iraq, Iran

sdh – Southern Kurdish.
spoken in mainly in Iran, Iraq

As for country codes, they are not necessary since the same dialects are spoken across different countries.

Conclusion

kmr for Kurdish (Northern)
ckb for Kurdish (Central)

To ensure easier finding, change it from Central Kurdish to Kurdish (Central).

I chose the term Central Kurdish because it is used by the Language Coding Agency for ISO 639-3. See here: https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/ckb

Initially, when switching to Kurdish, users often scroll down to the letter K to find it. It would be much easier to rename it as => Kurdish (Central).

I reexamined the naming conventions and have updated several language names to enhance discoverability. Changes will be live if #4218 is merged.
