The first thing we ask people that want to create a new (or revived) team is 
to translate kcoreaddons, kio and kxmlgui as close to 100% as possible and 
send  them to me in private (no need to bother the rest of the people in the 
mailing list with those files).

For Telugu we do have some existing localization files, but sadly no one is 
working on the translations.

https://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kf5/team/te/kcoreaddons/
https://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kf5/team/te/kio/
https://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kf5/team/te/kxmlgui/

So your first task to become your own "1 person translator team to Telugu" [*] 
would be to get those files as close to 100% as possible and send 
them to me.

Do you need help with how the translation workflow works?
