Pull requests for missing locales

[cvkline]

Before I start the tedious process of it, would the maintainers accept pull requests for the intl-* polyfillers for a locale that's not currently present? Specifically, Haitian Creole.

we pull data from https://cldr.unicode.org/ so you should submit a ticket there

Yes, I discovered the transfer from the CLDR after looking for where the locale data is stored in formatjs and not finding it; I should have followed up to myself, sorry.

Perusing the Unicode rules, it seems that they will only add a locale if (among other things) there are at least ten million people who can read and write it, and sadly the literacy rate in Haiti is so poor that Kreyòl Ayisyen doesn't meet that standard. 😕

But it's one of our product's officially supported languages so I think I will just take the French locale data JSON from formatjs and try to cobble one up myself, and then make the dynamic imports smart enough to know where to get it from.

Thanks.

yeah our type system should be comprehensive enough for you to theoretically introduce new locale. LMK if that works out
