Once Google does add a new language, we try to add support for that language as quickly as possible. = Google added a new language, and it's not available through ConveyThis. Why is that? = When Google adds a new language it is not automatically available through ConveyThis. This is because we must make internal changes to our program telling it the language is available and how to handle it. Also, we need to add a flag image for that language. We make every effort to keep the translator's available language list as up to date as possible.
