Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Setting Up Sesotho For LibreOffice Languages

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
