Hi Hlompho,

If you'd like to get more people involved with the translation effort,
just let me know. I do marketing and community outreach here at The
Document Foundation, and can spread the word on our blog and social
media, encouraging others with knowledge of the language to join in, eg
like this:

Just drop me a line if so!

Cheers,
Mike

The thing is I did.
South Sotho as its called has a dialect more aimed at South Africa. Lesotho
has its own way of presenting the language.
Given that challenge, rather than offending people, I think it would be
ideal to have Sesotho. We don't do the whole Northern and Southen Sotho
thing...

Greetings,
I would like to ask how one would get started in building the language
for
Sesotho?
To an extend even building language support for the language.

Someone who knows more probably will give you a more detailed answer, but
for now you can look at the southern Sotho / Sesotho translation on
Weblate [1]
and find the area for improvement.  For now you can only make suggestions,
and since there is no contact person listed on the LibreOffice language
teams
page [2], you'll want to contact the previous translator to see how you can
cooperate.  If he/she is no longer working on the translation, you can
write to
this list again and ask to become the main translator for Sesotho and get
access
to directly change the translation string on Weblate instead of just making
suggestions.

Hope this helps,
Ming
