Hi Timothy,

You can add the language yourself in a project you want to translate. See
the steps below:

1- Browse the project you want to translate (e.f. dnf5 in
https://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects/dnf5/)
2- In the Languages view, press the plus sign (+) on the upper-left corner
of the page, right over the first language
3- Search for "Luganda" or its language code "lg", and click it to have it
selected,
4- Finally, press "Start new translation"

This will start creating the translation files for the components that
belong to the selected project.

Once this step is completed, all projects translated to this
language (right now only one) will be shown in Luganda languge page
https://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages/lg/

Best regards,
Rafael
