@maxammann you should create a locale setting with your customizations.this is a very cool feature provided by moment.

Problem is that I do not speak Tigrinya but our app should support it.

Maybe we can find somebody knowledgeable :)

The authors and members of this library may be busy with other work. This is a very awkward situation. Maybe we can use a translator :).

[maxammann]

I'll discuss this within our project. Maybe we can do something

[maxammann]

I think we can make a proposal and let it check by a professional translator: https://lh.2xlibre.net/locale/ti_ER/

[maxammann]

Is there a procedure from the moment.js for adding locales? My current Idea would be to create the locale and then generate sample sentences which can be checked by non-tech professional translators.

[Alanscut]

@yosiasz See https://github.com/moment/moment/blob/develop/src/locale/en-ie.js and https://momentjs.com/docs/#/i18n/ . Add Tigrinya internationalization support.

Sure, we'd look at a PR for this.
