Your first step is to try to find other community members already working on localization or willing to help out. You should find them on the [[L10n:Teams]] page, which lists the teams by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_code language code]. If there is not team yet, please create a wiki page in the L10n:Teams category introducing yourself, following the examples set forth in the other pages.

The easiest way to expose your localization work to users and testers is to create, what we call a language pack, within our [https://addons.mozilla.org AMO] Add-on infrastructure.
