Hello I want to join in the translators team to improve the Icelandic translation of fedora and I am introducing my self now. My full legal name is Sveinn Svavarsson My fedora project username is sueno which is also my username on irc.freenode.net I live in Reykjavík which is the capital city of Iceland. I'm studying to become an electronic technician and I'm currently doing my practical education which means working and I'm working for Marel food systems
I have been a fedora user for three years now and have noticed that the icelandic translation was incompleet and is getting constantly less complete probably because nobody is updating it. So I want to hop in and continue the work that has been started.
I don't have much programming skills but I am eager to learn and I am not afraid of the command line so I hope I will be able to start doing some work soon. That is after I've gotten fluent with cvs and diff and those po files which I hope I will figure out soon. I considder myself good speaking Icelandic which is a special language in many ways.
I noticed that there is no maintainer for Icelandic so I was wondering how do I become the maintainer?
Here is my GPG information pub 1024D/C779573B 2007-08-09 Key fingerprint = 67F9 E215 49C9 D423 9B39 8FE0 E21F 344B C779 573B uid Sveinn Svavarsson (Snilld) sueno@strik.is sub 2048g/79EEBEEE 2007-08-09

Hey Sveinn!
Welcome to the Fedora translation team! Great to have you on board! :)
Much work has been done in Icelandic, but there are important stuff (especially in documentation) that could need some love:

Take a look at the Join the FLP page for what you need to do to get the necessary access to submit translations:

And for maintaining the language (please step up!):
