Hi David Have this post got answered yet? I add trans at lists where all translators live (aka l10n list).

Self-Introduction: Shaydi - Afrikaans(af)
by Shaydi America 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

Name: Shaydi America Location: Cape Town, South Africa Login: Shaydi Language: Afrikaans Profession or Student status: Graphic Designer About You: I just started a project called N.E.R.D. that introduces unemployed youth from disadvantaged backgrounds to free and open, online courses. To build on this project I'd like to introduce them to open source software and also guide them in contributing. Each and every person in this group speaks Afrikaans as either a first or second language so I thought translating Fedora into Afrikaans might be the perfect project for us to tackle. You and the Fedora Project: I feel most comfortable in assisting with Localisation but if I had to partake in other projects I would probably take on the ambassador and marketing projects as Fedora has no one promoting it in my area (actually not even in my country) so that would be a nice challenge and would also fall in with my plans to introduce my community to open source software. GPG KEYID and fingerprint: Will update this on my profile.
