Hi team, Im from Guatemala and we have an interested group in create
a new language option/pack.
I use to translate some english strings and know how those process
works https://launchpad.net/~demuxer but now at Ubuntu Guatemala
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GuatemalanTeam we have a large mayan people
using Kaqchikel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaqchikel_people and we
would like to create this translation,
What is the first step?
First I'd like to emphasize that translating Ubuntu into a new language
is quite a big undertaking. This check list may give you an idea of
what's involved:

One thing I'd recommend is that you talk with some members of the
Spanish translators team to get an idea of the amount of work involved
to achieve and - not least - maintain sufficient translation coverage to
justify the creation of a new language.
Otherwise, as a direct answer to your question, creating a locale for
the new language would probably be step #1.
Is it possible to have a branch from the SPANISH - LATAM ? the
translators are better with spanish than english, of course this
would change in another Ubuntu Release, but we prefer 'spanish' as a
base.
No, the translation infrastructure of Ubuntu does not allow for such an
arrangement. The original language is English, and all translations are
based on English directly.
