Hallo Urso, and thank you for translating Pootle into Papiamento! There are lots of possibilities. Localisers have collected some of their advice in the localisation guide: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/guide/start You can see a list of project that are using Pootle already: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/pootle/live_servers Some of these are language teams, like the Basque team. Many others are for projects that want to make things easier for localisers. Pootle can help you to coordinate a team of helpers, even if it is just to give suggestions from time to time. Since it has some features for quality control, it is also a nice platform for newcomers to get some training with terminology suggestions and the quality checks. I hope the localisation guide will give you some ideas on how to spend your time best.
