[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N Localization] is more suitable for contributors having any regional language knowledge. It is recommended way to start contributing to Fedora as a translator. Since new contributor know about his language and he just need to learn process in Fedora project. Once he is more familiar with Fedora he can start looking in other opportunities. Link to PraveenA presentation.
[[L10N|Localization]] is more suitable for contributors having any regional language knowledge. We localize broadly from software, documentation as well websites into various languages. L10N consists of over 80 languages teams.
