[Nigeria-opensource] Nigerian Localization Efforts

[Khaled Hassounah]

Shina,

It took me a while, but here a preliminary answer that could help.
Currently there are no po files, as the project is in its very early
stage of development and no one got to that yet. There are two
approaches that you could follow:

1. Contribute to the project by adding support for po files. This is
something that someone who is more experienced in development could do,
and is not much work but could have a huge impact not just for Nigerian
translation but for the overall project.

2. Go through the files, and find the specific words that are used in
the user interface (there is only a handful at this stage) and translate
those.

Anyone has any other ideas/concerns?
