There have been some steps for the Swahili translation:

I have prepared some instructions here:

I suggest you sign up for transifex (it’s not open source, but gratis for translators) and request to join this team. If there is no reaction, feel free to contact me again.

Maybe a translated website will attract more translators.

Best regards
