It feels like this will be a quality translation. What is RMVS? Searching the web, I found a NGO "Rashtriya Manav Vikas Samiti". Is that it? By the way, if you wish to share your experience on translating GIMP on a news post on gimp.org afterwards, we would be happy to have it. Maybe with some nice photos of the workshop and attendees, and some text (not necessarily long, as you see fit). Recently we have been trying to get more community input/outreach on our website, and a workshop to translate GIMP in Marathi is a cool event IMO. > We have two alternatives - > 1.

We cannot really tell you what we think of your translation since none of us speak Marathi (I think) and it seems it is even in lack of a coordinator lately. If you really think your translation needs more attention to be releasable, then we can wait, no problem. On the other hand, if you think it is already quite usable, you can always do it in steps, which means: submit your current version now, then do the workshop, and later submit the revised translations. In any case, translating a Free Software is a constant work-in-progress. You can always improve it later if you wish (and hopefully you will continue to improve the Marathi translation in the future). Thanks.
