Dear professors,

I would like to thank you for this nice initiative. It would be so great 
to see Marathi translations progressing again for GNOME software!

I would encourage you to use our translation tracking application at
https://l10n.gnome.org/languages/mr/gnome-gimp/ui/ and upload the result 
of your work there.
Then, if no Marathi language coordinator is active any longer, you can 
write again on this mailing list, pointing to uploaded .po files and 
asking for them to be committed. I'm sure other coordinators will be 
pleased to help you for that.

Working on the master branch, you will target the GIMP 2.10 release 
(seehttps://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Roadmap). You could always backport some 
of those translations to the 2.8 stable release if GIMP 2.10 is delayed 
too much.

Happy translating!

Claude
