You may know we host our localization (L10n) efforts on a Pootle server: <a href="http://translate.sugarlabs.org/">http://translate.sugarlabs.org/</a> and that we have a list for coordinating L10n efforts: <a href="http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization">http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization</a> 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 <a href="http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ay/">http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ay/</a> Quechua <a href="http://translate.sugarlabs.org/qu/">http://translate.sugarlabs.org/qu/</a> 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.
