What if language does not exist?

[Rui]

Hello fellow librarians,

I want to add "El Prencipinu", the translation of The Little Prince in Extremaduran language (spoken in a region of Spain, more info in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremaduran_la...). However, this language is not an option when creating a book.

What should be done in this case? Is it possible to create the missing language?

I will have the same problem in other Little Prince editions, since there are translations in rare languages / dialects.

Thank you,
Rui Dantas

I think your best option would be to request it to be added in the "Suggestions & Questions" thread or, just possibly, in "Bugs"

I would expect that Goodreads use a standard list of languages but if they know that a specific one is missing they might be able to add it.

And until this language is available in the list, you can mention the language in the description.

I will request this in the "Suggestions & Questions" thread as suggested. Thank you.

Which name will have this language in Spanish? I've never heard about it. OK, I think castúo can be...

Hi Marisa,

In Spanish it's Estremeño.

Here also the same page, but in Extremeño:
