Thanks for the clarification. Might be good to update the Wikipedia article.
IANAL (I am not a linguist) but it sounds like an interesting scientific
question whether a dialect is a language- and this could be added to the
Wikipedia site too.
Thanks for keeping Sorbian alive!

"The Schleifer dialect is mainly passed on orally and has no modern written

Hello Heiko,
thank you for your quick reply.
No, that's not true anymore. Meanwhile the Schleifer dialect has a written
standard and literature. There is the society „Kólesko“ at Schleife which takes
care of the preservation of the dialect and has published books, including a
grammar of the dialect:

Yes, it's still a private initiative of mine but I am in contact with a Sorbian
woman from the society at Schleife and they already work with Firefox and
Thunderbird in the dialect of Schleife which I've already translated. And later,
if all three projects are official translation projects, I will inform the
Sorbian digitalization concept team so they won't be my private projects anymore.
LibreOffice is fully translated into Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian (escept
some fresh strings), the other projects are for LibreOffice Help only. So I
think that I will have time enough to translate into the dialect of Schleife.
Kind regards,
Michael
