At today's Sugar Labs oversight board meeting [1], we discussed the motion submitted by Chris Leonard to fund a program for translation of Sugar into Yoruba, one of the three main languages spoken in Nigeria. I second the motion and bring it to you in an email vote.
Members of the oversight board, please reply to this email solicitation for a vote on the following motion.

Motion: To fund a program to initiate the translation of Sugar into Yoruba. The specific milestones and costs are detailed below. A description of the rationale for the project is found at [2]. The work would be led by Samson Goddy and reviewed by Chris Leonard, in his role as Translation Community Manager.
This proposal is for the translation of Sugar user interface andcertain Sugar Activities into the Yoruba language (ISO-639 code - yo).
Milestone 1 - The initial payment of $350 USD will cover startup costs(internet connection fees, localizer recruitment/training, etc.).Payment is to be made upon successful completion of contractualarrangements with fiscal sponsor (SFC).
Milestone 2 - Glucose - Payable upon completion and upload to Pootleof the PO files for sugar, sugar-toolkit-gtk3, OLPC_switch_desktopwill be for $1,350 USD. Included in this milestone is a $300 USDproject management fee, in addition to fees of approximately 40cents/word for the projects included in this milestone.  The uploadedfiles must pass all "critical" error checks (as flagged by the Pootlesoftware) and be approved by the Sugar Labs Translation CommunityManager, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
Milestone 2 must be completed prior to Milestone 3.
Milestone 3 - Fructose - Payable upon completion and upload of the POfiles for Calculate, Chat, ImageViewer, Jukebox, Log, Paint, Pippy,Portfolio, Read, ReadETexts, Record, Speak, Terminal, TurtleArt, Web,Write will be for $2,300 USD. Included in this milestone is a $675 USDproject management fee, in addition to fees of approximately 40cents/word for the projects included in this milestone.  The uploadedfiles must pass all "critical" error checks (as flagged by the Pootlesoftware) and be approved by the Sugar Labs Translation CommunityManager, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
Total anticipated costs for all three milestone payments will be $4,000 USD.
All projects are hosted on the Sugar Labs Pootle server at
http://translate.sugarlabs.org/yo/
Translation may be performed off-line with subsequent upload to thePootle server.
