    913New language requests have to be approved by the WFG team. As we prefer to avoid duplicate work, new languages are only accepted when they differ from existing languages. F.e. standard Polish is assumed to come from Poland, so we don't accept the language "pl_PL" to be added, as it would just be a duplicate of "pl". On the other hand, there are big differences between the Portuguese in Brazil vs Portugal, so we allow the "pt_BR" language. If we denied your language, and you believe it's different from the non nation-specific language, please contact us with some proof your language is different.
