It's clear from other parts of the documentation that this is outside of the supported character set for now. However I'd like to show interest in the topic. I'm a non-native speaker, but I have access to native speakers who have translation experience. Lao would also be great.

Background & aside: Central Thai is considered the "official" Thai of Thailand, but many dialects are spoken inside the country like Isaan (northeast), Kam Mueng (north), and Southern Thai. While most UIs show it as just "Thai", I'm unsure if that's being sensitive enough to the other Thai peoples speaking valid variants, they just don't have their communities as well represented as those in Bangkok. This could be a larger can of worm like: what is "English"? There's no central governing body for the language nor is there a consistent worldwide dialect so I guess any English is English since it's more in the eyes of the writer? Maybe this comes with time as the project grows and more dialects can be supported.

As for the display, it's possible but there may be issues with input. We have no expertise on how to map the numerical keyboard. Sorry for my lack of competence in the subject: Asian languages.

Do you happen to know how it should be mapped? on our site, it's fairly simple. We have mapping - number of presses -> to character input.
