Hallo It is good to hear of your interest. Since you wrote to the Pootle mailing list, I assume you are specifically interested in translating Pootle. We should have news about translating the new version of Pootle in a few days. You should see the announcement on this mailing list. In the meanwhile, you might be interested in this website of the African Network for Localisation: http://www.africanlocalisation.net/ There are several projects working on improving the state of software localisation in African languages, and I am also involved there. An easy place to get involved immediately, is with the 'locales' project - the first steps to get things working in your language on computers: http://www.it46.se/afrigen/ I see some work started on Fon, but your help will be needed to make it complete. If you have a locale created, you can also start translating Virtaal and some other software into your language.
