Starting the Afrikaans (af) Translation Team

[Johnny Jazeix]

Hi,

What we ask people that want to create/revive a team is to
translate kcoreaddons, kio and kxmlgui as close to 100% as possible and send
them to Albert (aacid at kde.org) in private (no need to bother the rest
of the people in the mailing
list with those files).

There are some old Afrikaans files at
  https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf6/af/messages/kcoreaddons/
  https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf6/af/messages/kxmlgui/
  https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf6/af/messages/kio/
make sure they are up to date and correct.

There's no files for the rest so get the templates at
https://invent.kde.org/localization/l10n-templates/-/tree/master/trunk6/messages/kcoreaddons
https://invent.kde.org/localization/l10n-templates/-/tree/master/trunk6/messages/kxmlgui
https://invent.kde.org/localization/l10n-templates/-/tree/master/trunk6/messages/kio

So your first task to become "new team coordinator"
would be to get those files as close to 100% as possible and send
them to Albert.

Best Regards,
Johnny

If the language is completely unmaintained, I would like to officially volunteer to start the team and act as the coordinator.
