I'm curious, how do you define Low German?
According to ISO-639-2 there is the language code "nds" but as far as I
know "the one Low German" does not exist, hence wondering if there are
any "standard" low german dictionaries...

Also, I'd recommend to start with the most important and visible strings
of the basic packages, like gtk+, gnome-desktop and xdg-user-dirs as
described in
http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/LocalisationGuide#head-006b8d2286e54d97ff6106b012d9f1196e777760 . 
I can understand that starting with small packages is convenient, but
for users the most visible strings are more important.
