I heard that Disney had a special treatment for the native language in the first movie. It was well received, and they specifically didn't have the characters speak English during songs that featured the native language. I forget how it was worded. Does anyone have a link to this analysis?
They hired native singers for the soundtrack. They also had most of the original voice actors in for an official Hawaiian language dub, which they distributed to schools in Hawaii (but did not release for home use). The Hawaiian dub came out in 2018, two years after the original release. Still, remarkable for an almost extinct language.

I watch the Hawaiian language version every now and again to practice. They did a great job!
Was it ever officially released? Or did somebody pull the audio off the dvd and merge it online?
It was not officially released. It’s available in some libraries locally as I’m on the big island
