Hoi, This has been discussed in the language committee. In the committee we all agreed that the existing languages for Wikivoyage should start without any interference of us and that new languages should start through the normal process because from now they are just like any other new project in a language. Thanks, Gerard

Hi Erik,
What languages are you launching with and what is the procedure for launching new languages?
We're basing the initial set on the languages which are ready for import from Wikivoyage. At this point, it looks like that would be German, Italian, English, French, Dutch and Swedish.
I think it's up to the language committee and the larger Wikimedia community to determine the process for new languages. My understanding is that per https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_proposal_policy new languages would need to use the incubator at first to demonstrate viability.
