Not sure about the exact date, but I think both Hungarian and Catalan will be available soon. I think Georgian too.
I understand that you guys are disappointed, but we have plenty of work on our plates already and some things are just more important than adding new languages. We will do our best to have all this new languages for which we have enough study material prepared up soon.
Soon:heavy_heart_exclamation:
For those who are more familiar, are Catalan and Occitan closely-enough related to be mutually intelligible?
Not quite. You can understand quite a lot, especially if written but it takes a good deal of guesswork and there’s a lot that won’t be easy to understand. Pronunciation is also quite different
There’s a variant of Occitan (and more concretely of Gascon) that is actually spoken in a part of Catalonia: the Aranese language, spoken in Val d’Aran. They have three official languages over there: Spanish, Catalan and Aranese. I give you a link to a TV program by the Catalonian TV where they explore that language. Notice that the conductor considers it "exotic and unknown"and he sometimes asks about the meaning of very common words such as “oc” (yes, cat. “sì”) or “bric” (not at all) that gets translated in the video as catalan “gens”, Spanish “nada”.
The part where the conductor tries to understand an Aranese hockey team is especially interesting for this question. Notice that he can understand some sentences but not others and he hesitates quite a bit. It’s also a very interesting comparison of both languages since you get occitan audio and Catalan subtitles.
There are also some interesting comparisons of particular words and expressions, comparing several Catalan and Occitan languages and they refer to the actual use of the language, etc.
Link to the first part:
P.S. Btw, that TV show “Caçador de paraules” (word hunter) is a very interesting one for those interested in languages in general and Catalan in particular
An especially interesting piece of data relating to your question. At this point in the program:
The Catalan conductor tells the translator “this particular variety of Aranese I find very difficult to understand, Is it a stronger accent?”. The tranlator asks the Aranese speaker: “What is the difference between the Aranese from here and that from “up there” (meaning the area where they’d been previously)?” The speaker replies “The Aranese up there is half Catalan”. “The language over here is pure Aranese”
So we can conclude that there’s a partial mutual understanding which depends on the exact variety that is spoken
Is there a possibility to involve the users to help you get the new languages available sooner or to take some of the other work?
Great news! My company just hired a guy from Catalunya and I’m pretty excited with the opportunity to practice this language on a daily base, but I need some basic materials to start. Perfect timing!
Thanks for all your efforts, Zoran!
Beta-Hungarian is online!
So Catalan-beta will be the next?
j;-)
Yup, Catalan is next in line, real soon! 
Are we talking weeks or months? 
@Corin Weeks. Probably even days now.
Really ?
?? I think it’s a dream:heavy_heart_exclamation:??
@Zoran
How many days? 
I am not going to say anything! Sorry, I feel like my predictions failed a few times already.
It depends on our developers, but I know for sure that Catalan is in process of being added and should be anytime now,
Hi Zoran, thank you for keeping us up to date. I am sure that everyone of us appreciates it as much as I do. I hope Català will be added very soon, I am really excited!
Literally looking multiple times per day if it’s added xD
I suppose, as long as Marc and Steve are in Japan, there is no beta catalan.
Today Catalan is a beta language!
Thanks!
My congratulations!
@Zoran, could you tell some words about the next candidates? Do you have any progress with any other languages?
I’m not trying to ask when. Just curious.
