Can we agree on the next steps so that this issue doesn’t stall?

My understanding is that we need:

  1. A public Git repo with all the POT files.  We can file a support
     request at Savannah to get that under the ‘guix’ project.

  2. Registration at fedora-project.org.

  3. Publicity so we actually get translations.

Is that correct?

I can help with #1, that’s my contribution.  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
