Self-Introduction: Carmen — Esperanto (also: How to add a new language in Zanata)

[Carmen Bianca Bakker]

Hi all,

I'm Carmen from Friesland, The Netherlands.  I am currently working on
GNOME to make the GNOME desktop available in Esperanto.  At the current
rate, GNOME 3.22 will have its core release (standard apps, core
libraries) completely translated into Esperanto, which I am fairly proud
of :-)

Unfortunately, from the big distributions, only Debian (and its
derivatives) have Esperanto available as a choice out of the box.  I
want to make sure that Fedora also gets that option.

Could someone give me a few steps in the right direction to get that
ball rolling?  I imagine an Esperanto team must be created on Zanata
(which is why I have CC'd Michael Moroni, who is listed as coordinator
at <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N_Teams>;).  I also imagine some
packages need adjusting.

I have some experience with RPM packaging from openSUSE's Build Service,
so I can probably do that just fine on my own, but I would really
appreciate if someone provided me with an overview of the core language
packages (or how to find such an overview).  I imagine it would be okay
to just send a patch to those packages to enable/add Esperanto?  Or is
this all done automatically?  That truly would be magical.

A little bit about myself finally: I'm a free software advocate, avid
D&D player, software engineering student, FSFE volunteer, and a couple
of other things.  You can find me at the FSFE booth at SFScon in
Bozen/Bolzano, 16 November.

Thanks and with kindness,
Carmen
