+⚠ Unfortunately the 3rd party localization framework used by the Arduino IDE application imposes a technical restriction to that set of languages. Unless a language is supported by that framework, it cannot be supported in the Arduino IDE. For this reason, we are currently unable to add support to Arduino IDE for additional languages (see [`arduino/arduino-ide#1447`](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/1447) for details).
+If a new language becomes available through the said framework, it will be added to the above list. When that happens, we may consider adding support for that language to Arduino IDE.
+Meanwhile we will continue to accept contributions for other languages, but be aware that we cannot say if and when those languages will become available in Arduino IDE.
 
 There is no technical limitation on the set of languages to which **Arduino CLI** can be translated. If you would like to contribute translations for a language not on the above list, you are welcome to [contribute to the **Arduino CLI** project](#arduino-cli-text).
