Ok, I have the translation support ready now (tested with Dutch) and I've created
a project for this in zanata and uploaded the .pot file and my Dutch translation:

https://fedora.zanata.org/iteration/view/plymouth/0.9.5/

As mentioned before there is not a lot to translate (only 4 strings), here are
2 untranslated screenshots to give you all some context to the strings.

This is the regular offline-updates status screen, which will be shown
whenever the users choses to install updates on power-off / reboot:

And here is the status screen which users will get when upgrading from
F30 to F31 (yes that is still far away, but it will use the F30 plymouth):

I plan to do a plymouth build with translations added on Sunday March 3th
(March 4th is the code 100% complete deadline) so any translations uploaded
to zanata before Sunday March 3th will definitely make F30.

I may do one more plymouth build for F30 before the final release after
that, but only if necessary (or if a lot of translations come in later),
so if possible please try to get your translations uploaded in time.

I know I'm a bit late with this, sorry.

Regards,

Hans
