+Feature: #103331 - Native support for language Maltese added
+============================================================
+
+See :issue:`103331`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+TYPO3 now supports Maltese. Maltese language is spoken in Malta.
+
+The ISO 639-1 code for Maltese is "mt", which is how TYPO3
+accesses the language internally.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+It is now possible to
+
+*  Fetch translated labels from translations.typo3.org / CrowdIn automatically
+   within the TYPO3 Backend
+*  Switch the backend interface to Maltese language
+*  Create a new language in a site configuration using Maltese
+*  Create translation files with the "mt" prefix (such as `mt.locallang.xlf`)
+   to create your own labels
+
+and TYPO3 will pick Maltese as a language just like any other supported language.
