Thank you for your efforts in translating Debian into Uzbek. See
https://www.debian.org/international/ for general information on
Debian's internationalization efforts.

You might want to start by translating the Debian Installer to Uzbek.
See the Debian Installer Internationalization and Localization Guide
(https://d-i.debian.org/doc/i18n-guide/) for more information.

Secondly, translating the debconf templates
(https://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po-debconf/pot) could be an
important step in making Debian more accessible to people who speak
Uzbek.

Most of the application software is translated upstream and not inside
Debian. See for example the Gnome Translation Project
(https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/).

Happy translating,
Frans Spiesschaert
