Hi,

Oh sorry, the guidelines said I should use the 2-3 chars long code.

Is there a way to rename the name?

yes, there is a locale for de_AT.
yes, I'd create one ;)
yes, I want to collaborate with the german team.
no, I don't have many translators yet.
our team would do the actual translations ;)

I just copied one line of the discussion. We discussed about dialects
and so on :P

Is it possible to have German (Austria) just as a language to choose on
launchpad? We could just use the German translations for the apps,
because we don't have enough translators yet.

I want my language to be in the list. Launchpad SUGGESTS me to choose
German (Austria), but I can't choose it, because it's not in the list.

That's my problem, so I don't really need a special team for my
language. I just want my language to be in the list.

Yours,
Daniel
