Feature Request: Add bz_IT or bz_DE locale for Bolzano/Bozen, South Tyrol #912

Description

@VictiniFan360

I would like to request the addition of a bz_IT or bz_DElocale for Bolzano/Bozen, South Tyrol (Alto Adige), Italy, including its corresponding regional flag.

Similar to how Catalonia has its own regional locale/representation, I would like to see Bolzano/Bozen represented separately rather than only under the generic it_IT locale.

Details

  • Locale: bz_IT or bz_DE
  • Region: South Tyrol / Alto Adige
  • Capital: Bolzano / Bozen
  • Italian: Bolzano
  • German: Bozen
  • Suggested flag: South Tyrol flag
  • Country: Italy

Bolzano/Bozen is a distinctive multilingual region where Italian and German are both widely used. Having a regional locale would better represent users from South Tyrol and distinguish the region from Italy as a whole.

I am requesting this in the same spirit as the existing regional representation for Catalonia: to give users the possibility of selecting their own region and seeing it represented with its regional identity and flag.

If bz_IT or bz_DE is not the appropriate locale identifier according to the project's conventions, I would also be happy to use whichever identifier the maintainers consider technically appropriate.

Thank you for considering the request!
