Hello

I am interested in contributing documentation and Hindi (India) localisation
for LibreOffice, but could not find any related information on the
LibreOffice website other than this mailing list.

Can someone please point me to a starting point ?

regards

Hi Kinshuk,

  Hello

I am interested in contributing documentation and Hindi (India) localisation
for LibreOffice, but could not find any related information on the
LibreOffice website other than this mailing list.

I've answered your mail concerning documentation on the documentation list.

Concerning localization, most of us are using Pootle to manage the translation files in .po or xliff file format, but it's not an obligation. If you want to use it, please create an account here:
http://translations.documentfoundation.org/

Also update the page on the wiki so we are able to follow the work done by your team an update the sources:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language_Teams

You will find the process used for the 3.3 version here:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Translation_for_3_3

Please complete the table with your language too.

Thank you for supporting our project and welcome aboard! Don't hesitate if you have any questions.

Kind regards
Sophie

Note: just creating your account isn't enough, you usually have to ask for permissions on this list, though this time I granted them to you.

Please don't forget to do the other things Sophie mentioned:

Hello Kinshuk,

I would also advise that you stay focused on either one of these activities.
While the localization process is now working, the documentation is still
not stabilized .

best,
Charles.
