i18n: Add malay translation

Open z4q opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

This PR adds the Malay (ms_MY.UTF-8) translation. All strings have been translated and double-checked for accuracy and natural Malay language usage. If anyone has any feedback or notices any issues with the translations, please let me know!

I don't speak Malay, but I notice that many of your strings feature title-case similar to English. It was found from other translation PRs that many languages other than English don't use title-case; does Malay use title-case or were you simply trying to copy the English source?

@00-kat Malay often adopts loanwords directly from English (e.g., "komputer", "fail", "tab", "log masuk"), so many technical terms remain quite similar. I’ve already fixed the title casing—initially, I followed the English style, but after your comment, I’ve switched to follow the proper Malay style instead.

Hi @z4q, sorry for the wait. The PR generally looks good at first glance, but there are a few things to be checked off before this can be merged:

  1. Could you rebase this PR and resolve conflicts? It's possible that the .pot file changed significantly and you will need to add new/remove old translations.
  2. Do you volunteer to be on the localization team for this locale to be pinged on string changes?
  3. It would be good to have at least one other Malay speaker who can review this (ideally they would also be interested in joining the localization team; our rule of thumb is to have at least 2 people per locale 🙂).

I'm closing this PR as stale for now due to no response + lack of interest from other Malay speakers for over 5 months. Thanks!
