Dialects of a particular language can be handled as separate collections.
In the Create New Bloom Collection dialog box, choose the main language for the collection and then type the name of a dialect in the box with this label:
Display this language this way
Once you have created a collection for each of the dialects, use the Other Collection button to open a collection. You can translate or make books in each collection. Internally, all of your books will use the same language code, but when you are editing in Bloom it will show the name of the dialect.
-
Later, you can make many changes in the Settings dialog box.
-
When you choose a language, Bloom chooses the primary country of the language as a default. It will not display "alternative names."
