        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.

      
        Please refer this link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N#Adding_Language_Support

       I just looked into Fedora 13 system and found that Low German
    locale is already added. See file /usr/share/i18n/locales/nds_DE. I
    don't see any translation installed by any package under
    "/usr/share/locale/nds_DE/LC_MESSAGES" but you can see "Low
    German(Germany)" language selection option in gdm. When you will
    login to Fedora by selecting this language, you will be using
    translations from "/usr/share/locale/nds/LC_MESSAGES" as its
    fallback from nds_DE to nds.

       So, I can see Localized Fedora Desktop for "Low German(Germany)"
    language. You need to create new language module at
    https://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages. Also, check
    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N for localization of Fedora.
