XO l10n
One of the main objectives for OLPC is to allow local communities bring their knowledge, culture, stories and interests into the digital domain. In order for that to happen, the XO needs to be fully localized into the languages being used where the XO will be deployed.
What's your focus?
Developer
As a developer, in order to have your activity localized, you first need to internationalize it first, and set it according to some rules & structure in dev.laptop.org so that it can be tracked by the Fedora Translation site. An incomplete guide can be found in Python i18n.
If your activity is not hosted in dev.laptop.org, please get in contact with someone as soon as possible in order to find a way to localize it. Some contact points: localization@lists.laptop.org, SJ Klein, the Talk:XO l10n; or if everything fails User talk:Xavi.
Translator
We currently have no clear process (mainly due to some glitches hooking up everything with Fedora), but we are working on it. A possible ad-hoc solution would be to contact the appropiate language coordinator in order to coordinate with them.
For a temporary solution / workflow, please read the instructions in Sugar i18n on how to procure, translate & submit POs that are being handled by the Fedora Translation site.

User / Tester
Verify that in a particular locale, things (activities et al) actually behave properly. Should add to Category:Tests?
All things dev.laptop.org
Here's a table that points to the localization resource of all the software pieces that may/will/could be bundled into the laptops and are present in http://dev.laptop.org/. By Level we mean the level of exposure to the child or user in a 0-9 scale:
- 0 — being never - the particular piece is listed but will not be deployed;
- 3 — advanced user dealing or configuring with the OS/Linux components;
- 6 — sporadic or tuning a particular activity; and
- 9 — everyday
- unk — currently undetermined level of exposure.
Obviously, the higher the level the more urgent for it to be localized for the pilot sites.
