Time string. “few minutes, hours ago” not translated in Belarusian language

[wegosi]

in

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/js/vendor/moment-js/locale

belarusian translation files:

be.min.js

be.js

should have names

bel.min.js

bel.js

Only in that way "Last time member activity" shows correctly, in other way shows default English translation

@wegosi Thank you for your report, and for your patience as we triage tickets.

It looks like you're correct. Do you know why WordPress's translation system uses 'bel' for Belarusian instead of 'be'? We might need to provide mappings for other domains as well.

@boonebgorges

Sure. It's not correct. Because for other languages is used ISO 639-1: two-letter codes, but for for Belarusian language now is used ISO 639-2/T: three-letter codes. It's not correct!

I don't know why the wordpress ranslation system uses 'bel'. I think it's a core problem.
It's like use ENG instead of EN.

Thanks for the quick response, @wegosi ! I spent some time matching up all of the moment.js locales with the corresponding WordPress locales (which are a mix of ISO 639-1, 2, and 3 codes), and found a small handful of mismatches. I learned something new about ISO language codes today! I'll add mappings for those locales.
