LANGUAGES
* Indonesian has been added as a user interface language.

Thank you so much, Alan!
New languages? Awesome!
Is Min Nan really called "Mandarin Min Nan" in Indonesian? :o
I'm not sure. As far as I know, it's called "Dialek Min-selatan" (Dialect, not language). Based on what it's called on Wikipedia, I think I'd change it to 'Hokkien' instead.
> I'm not sure
It just stuck me as very strange because Mandarin is a completely unrelated Chinese dialect/variety. Mandarin evolved from Middle Chinese, and Min Nan evolved from Proto-Min. They became different languages/dialects about two thousand years ago.
But if it the word 'Mandarin' has come to mean 'Chinese' in general in Indonesian, than I guess it's correct..?
> I think I'd change it to 'Hokkien' instead.
The 6 Min Nan sentences we have here are not Hokkien but Teochew. :/ The language code for Hokkien and Teochew is the same, so that's why we use the name Min Nan which covers both of them.
Unfortunately, the Teochew contributor left and didn't add more sentences except these 6.
Forgot to say that, "As far as I know, it's called "Dialek Min-selatan" (Dialect, not language)" is in Indonesia, not in general. I guess I'd go with Hokkien. And about "Mandarin", it's the term for Chinese 'language'. China also has different name, it's called "Tiongkok" (It's "Cina" before 2014)

Tooltip for "Edit sentence" icon is not translated. Or actually how can I know, because I don't speak Indonesian. Maybe it actually should be "edit" also in Indonesian. :)
> Tooltip for "Edit sentence" icon is not translated
I don't know, but I didn't found any string that mention "Edit sentence".
> Maybe it actually should be "edit" also in Indonesian.
Yes. "Edit" is the same in Indonesian. There is another word with similar meaning, though.
Oh-oh, none of the Zaza language sentences have translations. There are four sentences #4269285, #4269281, #4269280, and #4269279 that I believe to have deciphered, but the rest remain a mystery...
