Mara is already in Weblate. On Monday, I'll create the language group 
and the roles. I will ask Christian to populate the UI and help files.
Could you let me know the user names in Weblate I should add to the 
language group?

> Thank you very much for your time, guidance, and support.

Thanks to you for your will to translate LibreOffice :) On Monday I'll 
will also send you links that will help you for the translation.
At any time, don't hesitate to come back to me if you meet difficulties.

Kind regards
Sophie
