Translating Ubuntu Into Gujarati

Hello,

Joined the Ubuntu Gujarati Translators team on Launchpad today. It’s a different kind of contribution from the Calculator app bug-fixing I’ve been doing — instead of QML and merge proposals, it’s Launchpad’s translation tool, going string by string through Ubuntu’s interface and deciding how something like “Settings” or “Cancel” should actually read in Gujarati, not just what it technically means.

It doesn’t get anywhere near the attention app development does, but it’s the difference between Ubuntu being usable for someone comfortable in English and someone who isn’t. My own family runs on a mix of Gujarati and English at home, so it was an easy thing to want to help with.

Not sure how much time I’ll have for this alongside the Calculator work, but wanted to get involved while I had the headroom.
