Hi,

Since this list is not listed in
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/communicate/
and fedoraproject.org doesn't support localised web browsers
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=170892
people finding this list is, I believe, slim.
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-i18n-list may be more 
appropriate.

I believe what we really need to focus now is i18nize a way to 
participate in fedora and let fedora's message reach everyone in this 
world. To achieve this, we need ambassadors who can be contacted by
local community and set up i18ned news.fedoraproject.org. (I believe 
news.fedoraproject.org really needs to be build with i18n in mind.)
English guide of joining fedora is already very confusing, i18nizing 
this will be hard. We need to make this part of information modularized 
and separate from each project. I believe this also helps English 
speaking people find out joining information more easily as well.

Setting up information of fedora information for local community should 
be handled by local community web site. There are materials in 
fedoraproject.org usefull for local community, but not all of them are 
necessary. Local people know where informations are, and they are much 
better at building local web sites.
