This is very much correct. You just need to edit the PO file from <https://translationproject.org/team/fa.html> in a PO editor and after adding some translations submit it to the Translation Project. But you should first talk to your team. However I see little activity on <https://translationproject.org/team/fa.html>. Please report back if there are any problems reaching the team lead. Also the Guix System installer does not support right-to-left scripts yet (the bug was reported here <https://issues.guix.info/issue/35319>). Regards, Florian
