How to add a new language

Things you need before:

• Someone to be responsible
• Others to help out (and maybe also make responsible)

In this repo

1. Create an issue "[Language] Localization summary". Copy the issue number.
2. Make a new label for the language
3. Go to localize.json and add your new language
4. Add the new owner to CODEOWNERS

Send a PR with those changes, here's an example with French: PR #101.

In TypeScript-Website

1. Ask for the following translations ASAP:

en: {
    shorthand: "In En",
    body: "This page is available in English",
    open: "Go",
    cancel: "Don't ask again",
  },

1. Add that to: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-website/blob/v2/packages/typescriptlang-org/src/copy/inYourLanguage.ts#L1

In Discord

1. Create a new room: #localize-[shortcode]
2. Add the tag "localizer" to folks interested
