    I just looked into Fedora 13 system and found that Low German locale 
is already added. See file /usr/share/i18n/locales/nds_DE. I don't see 
any translation installed by any package under 
"/usr/share/locale/nds_DE/LC_MESSAGES" but you can see "Low 
German(Germany)" language selection option in gdm. When you will login 
to Fedora by selecting this language, you will be using translations 
from "/usr/share/locale/nds/LC_MESSAGES" as its fallback from nds_DE to nds.
    So, I can see Localized Fedora Desktop for "Low German(Germany)" 
language. You need to create new language module at 
https://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages. Also, check 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N for localization of Fedora.
