We've had a few offers to translate our website... our current position
is, "Thanks! We love your offer," but the infrastructure we currently
have for this is the LoCo teams.

Don't get discouraged, I'm not saying "no" to your offer, but what you
should do is connect with the Turkish Ubuntu Local Team, which appears
to be just getting started: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TurkishTeam

What we would love is for the Turkish team to provide a website (we'll
give you a website even) at www.ubuntu-tr.org that is translated into
Turkish and contains news, documentation, a mailing list and other
helpful information.

Here are some examples of other Ubuntu teams that have done this quite
well (the list is too long, so I'm just grabbing a couple of the *many*
excellent groups:
Finland: http://ubuntu-fi.org/
Chile: http://www.ubuntu-cl.org/
Bangladesh: http://www.ubuntu-bd.org/
(Italy is not on the list since they killed my server - inside joke)

Since someone has started the process of creating a Turkish team, I'd
suggest trying to work with them. If you find that they are no longer
able to proceed and that route is a dead end, then you should contact
the loco team "contacts" mailing list as described here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamContacts

We'd love to encourage you and help you spread Ubuntu through your
nation anyway we can and we're excited about your offer to help.
