The One Laptop Per Child project (OLPC) has a page for people who want to work on localization at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Pootle#Sign-up . For languages like Igbo not yet in the table, it looks like you will have to add appropriate rows in order to enter your name.

Note link to their page on Igbo.

Hallo Don,
The registration and admin are not clear at all.
SOmetimes it is as if some of the people involved in
some of these projects just write for themselves or
people like them (whoever that might be).
There is NO SIMPLE WAY of registration or administring
a localization, apart from simply

Well, I have registered with the pootle localization site
and hope to read from them.
All the best.

Hi Chindeu, I'm not sure how it works on their site. Apparently there are some sort of permissions involved? (Of course one can register on their wiki like one would with Wikipedia, but that's another matter.) You can put Igbo and your name in the signup table, but I don't know if that implies any recognition of your initiative. And although I know of some names in the hierarchy of OLPC I am not clear on who is managing translation of the interface. Maybe on the "localization" list mentioned on the page there would be more answers. Let us know how it goes. Don
