Re: GNOME Welsh translation team

Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for getting in touch. That sounds good: I'll reach out again in a month or so if I've not heard anything from Daf, the coordinator. In the meantime I'll continue to submit submissions. Christopher - I'll get in touch separately to discuss refreshing the glossary and style guide, as well as reviewing our translations.

Kind regards,

Ciaran
