Well, actually I don't contribute to the translation because Piotr does
his work so completely and perfectly that there is usually nothing more
to add. What I sometimes do includes providing and fixing metadata for
other languages. Sometimes this may mean languages which do not have
their translation teams or the teams are just being created.

No, the context (offline) of this discussion is not about removing the
languages but about adding them. Should we add a language because somebody
(a native speaker) asks us and then disappears and never comes back? Should
we add a language because we (or someone else) look at the map of the world
and discover an uncovered area?

I think you mean forks of Fedora. Not even spins but forks. So, no, I think
we don't count anything about forks even now. If somebody takes the source
code of Fedora, modifies it, builds another distro and publishes it
(I assume this is all legal) then we have no control and even no knowledge
about it. The same about other distros which are not related with Fedora.

Thank you for your feedback, Noriko. Best regards,
