+======================================================
+Feature: #90115 - Add support for Kinyarwanda language
+======================================================
+
+See :issue:`90115`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Kinyarwanda - the Rwanda official language is now available to use in TYPO3 system-wide for
+translation labels, giving full support for having a TYPO3 installation (Frontend and Backend)
+working with Kinyarwanda out-of-the-box.
+
+The ISO-639-1 language code "rw" is now added to TYPO3's default locales.
+
+Impact
+======
+
+Kinyarwanda will be shown on the "Manage Language Packs" modal and also possible to select
+in BE user preferences. It is possible to use the "kw" ISO-639-1 iso code in site languages
+to use the labels in TYPO3 Frontend.
