Ubuntu phones and l10n

[Michael Bauer]

Hi folks,

Ok, looking at my bright shiny brand-new Aquaris E4. After the recent 
news on Mozilla OS, very refreshing to see Gaelic appear on the screen. 
A couple of questions though, there's a few odd things which I think are 
of interest to folks in general.

- the selection of available locales is somewhat weird. I mean, I'm 
chufffed but apart from the usual big boys, there is Basque, Catalan, 
Galician (unsurprising I guess since it's a Spanish manufacturer), Ug 
(guessing Uyghur, it seems to show ISO codes for some locales), Occitan, 
Asturian and Scottish Gaelic. What's weird is that Occitan is at 25% 
completion or thereabouts but many of the hight up locales (Amharic, 
Breton, Welsh) are not there. It's possible I guess that they were not 
always as fully localized as they are right now but Occitan does seem an 
odd one to be included over Welsh and Breton. Which is great for Occitan 
- I don't want them out at all, just trying to understand the process.

- how often are translations pushed to the physical devices? Each minor 
updates with new locales on each major, like Ubuntu Desktop? Just trying 
to plan ahead - we have a number of issues (truncs above all) to fix and 
would be good to know how often they land in updates

But pretty neat, otherwise (mind you, the instructions for running 
Whatsapp look nightmarish!) - get the feeling this is a phone which we 
should be able to recommend to Gaelic speakers in the near future! Big 
thank you to all the devs!!

Michael
