*hej folks,* i just switched to fedora and would like to contribute in translations like i did / do for ubuntu and gnome. today the fedora project is missing the language "low german (nds)". as a gnome contributor i am familiar with gnome, but not with fedora individual characteristics up to now. so i need a little help from you to start contributing to fedora. e.g.: where can i start? whom can i talk to for creating the blank .po-catalogs / adding my language to the project, etc. i'd love to hear from you! kind regards, nils p.s.: if you want to learn a little more about me: https://launchpad.net/~ncfiedler http://live.gnome.org/Nils-ChristophFiedler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- i18n mailing list i18n(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/i18n

Yes, sure - what you see are the translations I already made for GNOME upstream in the past ;-) http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/nds But I am just talking about fedoras own strings on translate.fedoraproject.org. - I can not find any information, how to add a new language there.
