Hello Tesfamicael, thank you for your message. I have heard of no other initiative for your language. So you are the first! If I may comment on your message: it is not possible to localize one part of the application only. You have to localize everything.
I suggest you subscribe to dev@l10n.openoffice.org to start your work. The NLC here can for the moment open a level 1 native-lang project for your language . You will benefit from server space, mailing list, cvs access and other tools. See here: http://native-lang.openoffice.org and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/NLC for more info. If you agree, I'll need your OOo username and other details. The name of the project would be "ti". Let me know how you feel about this, Charles-H.Schulz.
