[Localization] Help with starting new languages

[Sayamindu Dasgupta]

Hi David,
Apologies for the delay.
I have added the languages. I'll need your user account now to grant
you access to the relevant languages. Also, before I can do that
(grant access), you will have to choose the languages you would like
to translate (slide 9 of
http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/pootleforxo2.pdf).
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Sayamindu
