Hi Rudi, welcome at Apache OpenOffice and thanks for your interest to help us with the translation for Africans.
Fist of all you have send your mail to a mailing list where you have to subscribe to receive the replies. See http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html for more details about our mailing lists. The important list for translators is l10n@openoffice... and I recommend that you subscribe at least to this list. The translation for Africans is at 86% for the UI at the moment, that means 12813 words need attention. I can prepare a set of po files for offline translation and will make it available asap. For general information please see http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/translate.html and feel free to ask further questions on the l10n@oepnoffice mailing list.
