The first thing we ask people that want to create/revive a team is to 
translate kcoreaddons, kio and kxmlgui as close to 100% as possible and send 
them to me in private (no need to bother the rest of the people in the mailing 
list with those files).

There are some old Malay files at 
  https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf6/ms/messages/kcoreaddons/
  https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf6/ms/messages/kxmlgui/
  https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf6/ms/messages/kio/
make sure they are up to date and correct.

There's no files for the rest so get the templates at
https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf6/templates/messages/kcoreaddons/
https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf6/templates/messages/kxmlgui/
https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf6/templates/messages/kio/

So your first task to become "new team coordinator" 
would be to get those files as close to 100% as possible and send 
them to me.

Do you need help with how the translation workflow works? 

Best Regards,
  Albert
