Hi :)
Have you been able to push this further forwards yet? I still can't see
the team listed at
https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/ubuntu-translators
I thought we had established that the necessary steps had been worked
through?
The request has been filed, but Emmanuel needs to create a team as the
next step:

Great Tom!
1. That's true. I have not found any team on Kinyarwanda to join.
2. About 11 million people speak Kinyarwanda in Rwanda, but current
estimation says that more than 20 million can understand Kinyarwand
(Southern Uganda, Western Tanzania, Eastern Kongo Kinshasa and the
whole Burundi).
3.a) Yes, Steve Murphy was the active person on Ubuntu and its
related issues. I know him, he was in Rwanda for some time in the past.
b) I think the keyboard by Steve can be conssidered. Apart from
that, Kiswahili one if exists can be almost similar to Kinyarwanda one.
c) Iam not sure whether there are specific fonts for Kinyarwanda.
NEXT STEP...
I have already created a team for Kinyarwanda and I will do my best
to invite other people to join. I was wondering whether you could
allow me work on translation. It is still closed for me.
Regards,
Emmanuel Habumuremyi

Hi :)
So i guess that you have already
1. hunted around to see if there is an existing team already
doing the translations and found none? I didn't find one at
https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/ubuntu-translators
I looked for Rwanda and Kinyarwanda and neither currently exists.
2. 12million people speak Kinyarwanda according to wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinyarwanda
so it's real in the world today spoken by people naturally in
their daily lives.
3. Locale, keyboards and fonts.
a) A local was created by Steve Murphy and Mr. Safali in 2004, rw_RW
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/locales/rw_RW;h=437df4bb2c893b8762d42f577dc2d660b727daab;hb=HEAD
b) I'm not sure if you have a different keyboard or can use an
existing one that is close enough to what you need?
c) Is there a font that people will recognise and is comparable
to written Kinyarwanda?
So, the next step is to create a new team
https://launchpad.net/people/+newteam
You have to decide whether to call the name by the name of the
language or the name of the country(s) where is is most widely
spoken. I think people generally pick the name of the language.
It might seem stupid to have to create a team when you know that
you are going to be the only person in the team but that is the
required next step before doing translations. Also you might
find other people join the team unexpectedly which help.

Tom :)

Hi Emmanuel,
Thanks for letting us know about your language.
Could you please fully answer the questions I asked on my
previous
e-mail, so that we can help you further? I'm adding them
again below:
* What's your language and where is the request you filed to
create a team?
* Did you follow the steps on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/StartingTeam
as
pointed to in the Launchpad page?
Thanks.
Regards,
David.
