Drop language Dhivehi from SearXNG translations

This is a poll: It is about the language Dhivehi which was added to SearXNG 6 months ago. At that time only 8% of the strings were translated but since then the translation was not maintained. In the meantime strings have changed and new ones have been added.

The translation of the language is currently not in a good state.

Please give me a thumbs-up if you are in favor of removing this translation ... or leave a comment why we should continue to maintain this translation


Dhivehi is the official language in the Maldives and is spoken by about 320,000 people.

Of course it would be best if someone could maintain the language but given the few native speakers I don't have much hope.

FYI: I have sent an email to the original translator ... as soon as I get feedback I will share it here.
