Contributing roles in the L10n (localization) Project
This is only suggestions for contributing roles. Only your imagination sets the limits.
The Fedora Localization Project
The goal of the Fedora Localization Project (FLP) is to bring everything around Fedora (the Software, Documentation, Websites and culture) closer to local communities (countries, languages and in general cultural groups). Usually this involves doing translations via PO files but is certainly not limited to that.
is an abbreviation of the term "Localization" by means of a so called numeronym, a way of replacing the middle letters of a word (in case 'ocalizatio') by naming the number of letters between the first and last letter of that word (in case 10): Localization
Language list
Refer to http://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages for an overview of how many languages are available and have substantial translation of our essential software.

Communication
Mailing list
There are some mailing lists that interest members of the FLP.
- The main list is trans list (archive), which holds discussions about translations, team coordination, etc.
- Some issues are discussed at i18n list. If you are interested in input methods, international fonts, etc, you would want to join this as well.
Commits list
- We've setup the group 'l10n-commits' for those who would like to receive emails for commits in the
/cvs/l10n/repo and various other emails. - To subscribe, go to the Fedora Accounts System and add yourself to l10n-commits. Unfortunately the system needs approval, so someone should jump in to approve you, which should happen quickly.

Meetings
- See L10N Meetings
Schedule
Both of these schedules include translation freeze dates, which are dates that translations are picked up for adding them into the product.
Fedora L10N Steering Committee
The Fedora Localization Steering Committee (FLSCo) leads the Fedora Localization Project (FLP). Its mission is to provide the Fedora translators with necessary guidance, and support their efforts to localize the Fedora Project to multiple languages and cultures.
