Hi Eike,
Thank you very much for this informative feedback. It's really helpful
moving forward. It looks all okay to me so far.

Luganda is spoken majorly in Uganda, with no other known dialects and

define it.
@Eike, could you let me know if it's ok on your side?
We already have
Ganda {lg-UG} 0x063B
even with locale data available

A 'lg' UI localization should be perfectly fine.
Note that the language listbox' English UI name for the language is not
Luganda but 'Ganda' because that is what ISO 639 says

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Luganda Localization Project(New)
My username is *pintert3*. With regards to the Help project, I don't know how long translating the UI will take, probably a while, so I'm making no promises. But since I'm part of a growing community of open source language support over here, I think at one point we may have enough people helping out in the translations. So if it doesn't cost much, then I'd say open the Help Project too, but no promises in hitting them both in time for any deadlines now.
