@kuroop Hi! We always welcome new locales. I'm not sure about data for India, because I don't know what is commonly the main language in India: English (en-in
), Hindi (hi
) or another language.
The main point: data must be valid for India.
@kuroop Answers:
Of course, you can! Read this: https://github.com/lk-geimfari/mimesis/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst
Hi @lk-geimfari ,
As a country, India has lot of languages. What is the criteria to select ? popularity? I would say both locales should be included; so can we plan for both? I personally would want to start with English(en-in
) and probably pick up Hindi(hi
) later on.
Thanks for the link to that CONTRIBUTING doc. I will go through it.
@kuroop Which locale is much popular? Which one will be much useful for developers?
@lk-geimfari
en-in
as Indian English is what all major universities and institutions use( who teach future developers). Also most websites provide a hi
viewing interface but I have never seen them taking input and login details in that locale. So I doubt much usefulness of a test-data-generator for hi
.
In my opinion en-in
is a better choice if usefulness for developers is criteria.
Great, let's add only en-in.
There is no feedback, so I close this issue.
