Hi.

I have been working on the translation of the handbook using weblate 
[1]. There were some translations when I started a few months back but I 
went over each chapter and translated everything making sure that the 
strings already translated were consistent. A month or two ago two 
people stepped up, translated a dozen strings each and then disappeared 
again so it has been mostly just me.

I am a hair over 80% with all chapters up to 12 already translated. At 
my current speed I estimated I would finish by the end of the month but 
any extra hand is more than welcome.

I didn't know there was a "README" file per language and it doesn't 
appear in weblate. I also didn't know there needed to be a coordinator, 
what would be the role of the coordinator?

Based on information of this e-mail I subscribed to the mailing list and 
requested to join the Alioth project (username toote-guest).
