The link below is a forum where Unicode NSIS project accepts
submissions (one of several methods for submitting) .  They are not
expecting them in PO format, they probably want them in NSH or NLR

The local AbiWord Windows installer NSH was reformated from the
completed PO file (by me)  and committed on Oct 23rd  r32237 (by
Prashant Bafna), but I assume from the context your question is mostly
about thupstream Unicode NSIS files.

It looks like they last update Albanian in 2.46.5 posted May 10, 2012

Per this message:

If you have noticed errors in the NSIS NLF or NSH files that you'd
like to correct, download the files from:

http://code.google.com/p/unsis/source/checkout

Specifically

http://code.google.com/p/unsis/source/browse/Contrib/Language%20files/Unicode/Albanian.nlf

and

http://code.google.com/p/unsis/source/browse/Contrib/Language%20files/Unicode/Albanian.nsh

make corrections and and then either

A) post to http://forums.winamp.com/forumdisplay.php?f=159

B) alternatively post as a bug here:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=22049&atid=373087

C) or e-mail to

I apologize that I have not gotten around to improving documentation
about upstream L10n related to AbiWord, but thingsg have been really
busy.  I have stayed on top of getting any new AbiWord files
submitted, including the Windows installer NSH.
