Hi,
Our group at ILLA-A (http://www.illa-a.org) is working on translating Firefox into South Bolivian Quechua (quh) and Aymara(aym). Can you please add locales to Firefox for these languages.
See:
http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=quh
http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=aym
There are already locales for Cuzco Quechua (quz) and Ayacucho Quechua (quy) from Peru, but South Bolivia Quechua uses a slightly different alphabet than Cuzco Quechua (J in place of H) and has 10 more letters than Ayacucho Quechua. I have talked to Irma Alvarez, the person in charge of the Cuzco Quechua and Ayacucho Quechua translations and she agrees that South Bolivia Quechua should have a separate translation.
Best Regards,
Amos Batto

We could host those over on http://mozilla.locamotion.org/ if you want
to keep the process simple?
If you want to do that, create and account there (to right corner of the
screen "Register"), sign up to the mailing list there
(http://lists.translate.org.za/mailman/listinfo/firefox-l10n) and let us
know there what you username is and we'll create the locales for you!
Cheers,
Michael

We can also add those other languages as alternate source languages making

Hi Amos
Since you have stated that you would like to start a new localization effort, I'll will be your mentor and point of contact.
To get started please add your team information to the new Bolivian Quechua and Aymara L10N teams pages.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams:quh
https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams:aym
Do check out the L10n process doc (https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Localization_Process) to become familiar with how we localize. Feel free to write to me or post to Dev-L10n-New-Locales http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.l10n.new-locales) if you need any help.
Hope to see more from you soon!
Cheers
