Greetings to LyX users and developers,
I would like to contribute to the internationalisation of LyX, by
organising the provision of Luganda language (lug)capability. I note
that there appears to be no Luganda team yet.
Luganda is a main language of Uganda. ISO 639 has the language listed as
'Ganda', with a three letter code 'lug' but no two letter code as yet.
We are working on that.
I am a member of the Akedeme ya Luganda, a voluntary organisation which
is working on making all modern knowledge easily available to ordinary
Ugandans. I have just used LyX - on a Linux box - to write a book (about
aviation). I think the package is top notch, and would like the Akademe
to adopt it as the standard publications tool, but to do that it needs
to 'talk the language'.
I have started by looking at the message (gettext) system and the
captions for the class 'book'. The work is still at a very early stage.
Regards,
Kizito
