Add Saraiki in google

Community Manager, Google

Subject: Request for Inclusion of Saraiki Language in Google Translate

Dear Keerthana V,

I am reaching out to appreciate your commendable efforts in promoting and preserving the world's languages. Your initiative to support smaller languages and help them thrive is truly valuable. However, I wish to highlight that a language as rich and culturally significant as Saraiki is noticeably missing from Google Translate.

Saraiki is not just a language spoken by a few; it is a vibrant means of communication for millions, if not tens of millions, of people. The absence of Saraiki in Google Translate limits these speakers from accessing the world's knowledge and contributing to it. Including Saraiki would empower millions of speakers by bridging them to global resources.

Therefore, I sincerely urge you to prioritize the inclusion of Saraiki in Google Translate at the earliest. This step will not only help Saraiki speakers but will also enrich the platform by embracing a language that carries an age-old heritage and serves a vast community.

Thank you for considering this request, and I am hopeful for a positive response.

Warm regards,

[Saraiki]

When will the 110 new languages be added to the translate capabilities in sheets?

I've tried a few times to auto translate the Ga language in sheets however it says the function is not available for the ga language.
