Re: I want to become translation coordinator for Bosnian.

Dear Samir,

Improvements in GNOME coverage would be most welcome.  The OS for the
One Laptop Per Child XO laptop by Sugar Labs uses a lot of GNOME
packages.

If your team has any spare time, contributions to translating Sugar or
any of the other packages we host for our upstreams/downstreams into
Bosnian would be welcome.

BTW, you can run Sugar on nearly any computer, it does not require an
OLPC XO laptop.

If you post a request on our L10n coordination list, I will be happy
to grant Bosnian language admin privs to you.

Warmest Regards,

Sugar Labs Translation Team Corrdinator

Ubuntu Launchpad contains a big portion of GNOME as well. Bosnian is currently No 1 in Ubuntu Launchpad, but GNOME upstream translation is quite weak.

We have many translations in Ubuntu Launchpad, and difference between Bosnian and Serbian ijekavian essentially does not exist (the only difference is that Serbian team translated program names, while Bosnian keeps them in original), so I can reuse their translations as well. I think, I can raise Bosnian translation completeness from current 15% to 80% in just few days, and in Fall 2013 to 100%.
