[Debian-l10n-devel] Jewish Languages

[Barak A. Pearlmutter]

The hebcal package has translations into a variety of Jewish languages
which are a bit more obscure than plain old Yiddish.

These are Ashkenazi pronunciations, meaning pronunciation of Hebrew
words in the Ashkenazi rather than the more standard Sephardic/Mizrahi
fashion prior to transliteration.

I'm not sure if anything should to be done, because I don't know much
about how this stuff works. But since there's a big scary error
message, I thought I should ask.

Cheers,
