And I'll return the favour: What I would do—what I suggest any of us do—is simple inform those previously interested, those working on related translations/localizations, that they are invited to work on that here. Sometimes, these localization efforts are also government funded. That has been my experience before, especially for indigenous languages. In that case, informing the likely actors is still pretty simple and straightforward: emails. And should it be that there is interest (among whatever parties), then using this interest as a kind of launching pad for more development can help, especially if featured at significant events and conferences. is this clearer?
