Thanks for your interesting in localising GNOME in the Kazakh language. To become the coordinator for Kazakh, please see the section "There is already a non-responsive coordinator"at http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/StartingATeam Here is his registration of the Kazakh team in 2004, http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2004-December/msg00020.html I did some searching for Amrenov. His nickname is "arruah", and apparently his has been active in Ubuntu Rosseta. His profile, https://launchpad.net/~arruah shows an updated e-mail address which I cc: as well. He also has a blog, which shows that he is active in open-source, but he has neglected to update the details at GNOME Translation. Ubuntu allows to translate GNOME on their own servers, and it appears that Amrenov has done a little work there, https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/~arruah/ However, none of these translations have been added back to GNOME (this has to be done manually). I am cc:ing Amrenov, as evidence that a notification e-mail has been sent to his e-mail account. Amrenov, if you are reading this, please reply. Kazakh localisation is very important for GNOME. It is very important for both of you to talk it over and make an active Kazakh GNOME localisation team.
