Francisco,

I want to make the listing on Pootle as easy for the users as possible (and
as correct as possible), the ISO-639 code (pbs) is the important code for
the computers to understand, but it is not very human-friendly.

How would like this listed?  Does this look right?

Xi'úi (Central Pame)

I only know what I saw in Wikipedia, but I got the impression that Xi'úi
was what the people call themselves, not necessarily what they call their
language, so I do not want to get this wrong.

The other information I will need is about plural forms:
http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/l10n/pluralforms

How many plural forms (nplural) and how are they applied, or the plural
equation (e.g. is zero singular or plural).

I need the plural information before I set up the project in Pootle (if
possible) as it gets encoded in the headers of the PO files when they are
generated by Pootle from the templates.  It is possible to set it ups with
plurals unknown, but that will not allow completion of certain strings that
use ngettext for plurals handling.

I am thrilled with the work the Mexico team is doing on local languages and
look forward to continue working with you to provide every child with a
learning experience in their mother tongue.

Warmest Regards,
