Grants:Project/Rapid/Gungbe on Translatewiki.net

statusnot funded
Misteld/Gungbe on Translatewiki.net
After the success recorded by WikiActivate Gungbe, I would like to lead the work on the translation at translatewiki. I observed that most participant could not get involved in the Wikimedia project because they could not fully grasp the interface. Being the lead translator for gungbe on translatewiki, I would like to engage other literate native speakers to translate more messages on translatewiki.
