Please see "discussion" notes about this section
There are many skills involved in a successful new language release beyond just translation and technical. A good thing to do at this stage is decide if you're going to do this alone or try and get some help. In our view, it's always better to try and get other people involved as there is a lot more to do than just translating strings to create a successful release. Co-opting friends and family is a decent start, other localizers also get involved in their academic communities, local open source developer communities, etc. [Axel/L10n: do we have any useful links we can provide here to support this notion?]
