Dear Laura amd colleagues at Somos Azúcar,

I would very much like to develop closer collaboration between Somos Azúcar
and the Sugar Labs Translation Team.

You may know we host our localization (L10n) efforts on a Pootle server:
http://translate.sugarlabs.org/

and that we have a list for coordinating L10n efforts:
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization

I was very happy to learn that Aymara and Quechua L10n work has been done
and I would love to see it uploaded to the Pootle server

Aymara
http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ay/

Quechua
http://translate.sugarlabs.org/qu/

As for your planned efforts in other indigenous languages:

Shipibo-Conibo    shp
Ashánink    cni
Arawak    awd (a grouping of 73 languages)

We would be happy to establish hosting for them on our Pootle server and to
discuss strategies for off-line translation and upload, but that
conversation should be taken to the L10n list so it can benefit from the
cumulative experience there.

Warmest Regards,
