[Fedora-i18n-list] Adding a new language pack

[Leon Ho]

Hi Daniel,

A language pack includes any package(s) which specifically related to a 
specific language. That may include but not limited to:
 - Input methods for that specific language
 - Fonts for that specific language
 - Some language specific utils.
 - Some sub-packages for translations such as openoffice.org and kde-i18n

Translations that sub-packaged is usually a special cases for few application. 
For usual translations, the package of the application itself will include 
it. (i.e. gedit will include all the translations for gedit etc)

Regards,
Leon
