This page should take about 5 minutes to review. Having said that, there are links here to larger pages, so you might want to set aside a few hours if you're serious and ready to get into what's involved in starting a Localization project.

For your part, what we'd like to do here is ensure that we provide useful documentation to help you create your new build or to help you get linked in to support an existing [[:Category:L10n_Teams|team]]. (You can also check our list of [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&classification=Client+Support&product=Mozilla+Localizations&component=Registration+%26+Management&resolution=---&chfieldto=Now| bugs] filed in case there's already been interest in the language you want to build).
