Welcome to our localization community.  I see you've already received
warm welcomes from other contributors.  While we do need more work on
our Sugar strings, it is also worth noting that new OLPC builds are
dual boot in Sugar and GNOME, so work on the upstream is also welcome
as the strings flow down to us.

See links below for more information,

recently, but based on his good work, ganesh might be a good candidate
if he's interested)
