Immannguaq kalaalisut oqaluttarpunga... *very* little, sadly not enough
to help with the actual translation task but I thought I'd at least
welcome you properly :) Other people will help you with the actual task
of giving you the necessary rights for your locale (I can't do that) but
I'll try and help if there are practical day-to-day questions I can answer.

Practically speaking, the translation is done via Pootle
(https://translations.documentfoundation.org) so you will need an
account over there as well and best sign up to the mailing list over
there (it's not high volume).

You have two choices, you can either use the online system for providing
translations or you can download the .po files and work on them in
Pootle or Virtaal (http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/virtaal/index).
I would personally recomment Virtaal because it remembers things you've
already translated and there are a lot of strings which appear again and
again and again. The advantage of working online with Pootle is that you
can select another language to be shown alongside the English, in your
case, you could show both the English and the Danish text to give you a
better idea of what's going on. Personally, I work offline on Virtaal
but have Pootle open in a different window so I can check if necessary.

Before you start, make sure that any such system has the right plural
rules for Kalaalisut although I think the pattern is the same as for
English (1 > Form 1, 2 and above > Form 2).

If you're working with a team, best make sure beforehand you're all
going to use the same technical terminoloy (it saves time later on).

Really good to see a Greenladic team join!

Michael
