if you get two copies of this e-mail (one of them with the list footer),
that means you have been subscribed successfully. Otherwise probably
not. Once you are subscribed, I suggest to reply to the e-mails coming
from this list back to the list, so that everyone gets a copy of your
reply and nobody receives it twice.

Wow, that's quite a rush!

I do see your username in Pootle. But it is libreguarani, not
libreoffice. :) I have granted you all the necessary permissions for
Guarani: https://translations.documentfoundation.org/gn/.

I have also enabled two projects for your language: LibreOffice UI and
Terminology. While it might be tempting to start with the former, I
strongly advice you to work on Terminology first (I'm even inclined to
remove LibO UI for now). Terminology is a special type of project
because it does not contain any source files. You are free to upload any
dictionaries that you have to it (after converting them to a suitable
format (.po) first). If you don't have a dictionary yet, no worries –
there are folks on this list and elsewhere who will gladly assist you
with that, you just have to ask.

Happy localizing! :)

Rimas
