Hi, Nasrul, I'm glad to hear that there's someone willing to make one of Indonesian traditional languages available to use with WordPress.
I'm Huda Toriq, currently maintaining Indonesian localization of WordPress. I don't speak basa Sunda. But I would happy to give some assitance if you need. Feel free to contact me anytime. Since basa Sunda & Bahasa Indonesia share a lot of audience, I think it's a good idea if you also discuss it in the Indonesian forum. [0] I'm sure there are some Sundanese in the forum who will be able to give you feedbacks. There's also an effort to make the traditional script/character of basa Sunda and all other Indonesian traditional script to be available to use with computer and of course, with the internet. Currently the Balinese, Sundanese, Buginese characters have been approved by the Unicode consortium. There's also project 'Aksara Nusantara' [1] which attempt to create fonts & input tables for some operating systems. The Buginese character (lontara) has even been distributed together with one of Indonesian Linux distro, Blank-On. I am one of the contributor on the project, focusing on the Javanese character (not yet approved by Unicode). Once the javanese is approved & we released the fonts & input table, I also plan to create a Javanese localization for WordPress, using the traditional script (hanacaraka/tjarakan) to promote the script itself. In the meantime, I know you want to localize WordPress into Sundanese using latin alphabet. But I can see your attention to your language and hope you would consider to create the Sundanese using the traditional script as well in the future.
