Hernan: Sure, I think it will be possible to have translation to Quechua
languages as well. But it will need some time to launch the process..

Bruno: If I got it right, the current .po translation process is
changing .po directly and somehow share them to commit? If yes, it might
be useful to have tools like Pootle[1] to let not technical people
translate GC in more convenient way. What do you think about hosting
GC's .po files on Sugar Labs Pootle instance [2]. We can start to figure
out how it might be implemented and start from new language (btw, it
will be a good chance to rehash sugar patch for GC to push it to
upstream at the end)?
