Now, what do you suggest?
I will support any attempt to add this language to vlc, but besides some possible technical issues we need somebody for the actual translation.

There is a team for "Central Atlas Tamazight" translation already. Please check:

https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/vlc-trans/language/tzm/

The recommended way is: create a transifex account and request to join the team.

Here are some additional hints:

Feel free to contact me with any further questions.
