There is a standard French localization, but it needs thousands more
strings translated, mainly for Etoys.

If you can send some Kreyol speakers our way, please do.

This raises a question for Pootle management: Could Kreyol localizers
work from the existing French, not just from English? That is, can
Pootle be set up to show the source strings and *two* localizations at
the same time, or do people just have to coordinate in two browser
windows?
