I wouldn't agree that a living language is as relevant as a dead
language. In the case of a living language, localization is relevant,
while it's not true for a dead language.

So, I suppose you want them first to make the basic localization, then
to add it as a Wikidata language? I agree with that.

No, I didn't say that. I said that we are not overwhelmed by various
requests and that it's not big deal to approve a language for
Wikidata. Said so, I will repeat that I agree that the basic
localization should be the requirement.

We also need to amend the Language policy for localization and
Wikidata purposes. Like: If you want your language variety to be added
into Wikidata and Wikimedia localization, you need to do translate the
most common messages; etc.
