Hi :)
So i guess that you have already
1. hunted around to see if there is an existing team already doing the translations and found none? I didn't find one at
https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/ubuntu-translators
I looked for Rwanda and Kinyarwanda and neither currently exists.
2. 12million people speak Kinyarwanda according to wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinyarwanda
so it's real in the world today spoken by people naturally in their daily lives.
3. Locale, keyboards and fonts.
a) A local was created by Steve Murphy and Mr. Safali in 2004, rw_RW
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/locales/rw_RW;h=437df4bb2c893b8762d42f577dc2d660b727daab;hb=HEAD
b) I'm not sure if you have a different keyboard or can use an existing one that is close enough to what you need?
c) Is there a font that people will recognise and is comparable to written Kinyarwanda?
So, the next step is to create a new team
https://launchpad.net/people/+newteam
You have to decide whether to call the name by the name of the language or the name of the country(s) where is is most widely spoken. I think people generally pick the name of the language.
It might seem stupid to have to create a team when you know that you are going to be the only person in the team but that is the required next step before doing translations. Also you might find other people join the team unexpectedly which help.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Emmanuel,
Thanks for letting us know about your language.
Could you please fully answer the questions I asked on my previous
e-mail, so that we can help you further? I'm adding them again below:
* What's your language and where is the request you filed to create a team?
* Did you follow the steps on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/StartingTeam as
pointed to in the Launchpad page?
Thanks.
Regards,
David.
