Hello Hossein, Perhaps you could work together? I believe the Persian Native-Language Project of OpenOffice.org led by Farsiweb was the first native-lang community to support LibreOffice the very day of its opening :-)
Also we do tend to acknowledge past contributions in the OpenOffice.org project. Pootle Admins: I would strongly suggest Farzaneh gets her Pootle account. Best, Charles.
