Missing locales (lrc, hrx)

[Philippe Verdy]

The contents of articles does not matter. The content was evaluated before
being accepted for project creation. These two languages have passed the
test that there is a significant enough community, and that the software
can also be translated, and there are interest in writing in these two
languages.

I have absolutely no opinon on the "encyclipedic" value of beta articles
found in that wiki and in fact I absolutely don't care about that. All
languages will start with fez contributors making some beta texts, then
there will be gems being developed.

Also having content in a wiki for languages that are live in all sources,
means that it merits localization.

North Luri is as much significant as Bakhhtiari in CLDR and even more
importnat in terms of population. Bakhtiari is present in CLDR because it
is the language of most important rulers in Iran and also from the former
Shah if I remember well. Both are located in the most active area in Iran,
with the most resources. And both are important ressources for the
Persan/Farsi language.

I'm just concerned by the fact that now MEdiaWiki will be localized in
those languages. And remember that MediaWiki is also used by many academic
groups for their own publications, outside Wikimedia projects, and for
documenting lots of private collaborative processes: there's a world after
Wikimedia sites.
