    Hi.

    As a translator and diaspora podmin located in Japan, I am interested in providing best D* experience to Japanese speaking users. Specifically, I would suggest adding a Kansai dialect (second widely used variation after Standard Japanese) to Diaspora.

    As of this writing, I have added ja-KS to Diaspora pod that I maintain and started translating the strings, using standard Japanese as a fallback. If the community finds it useful to have Kansai dialect added in the upstream, I would be happy to contribute my translations.

    Best regards,
    Vitalie Ciubotaru

    Sure, that sounds like a low hanging fruit to me (with the fallback the experience won't be worse than right now even with an incomplete translation).

    I created the language and added the fallback :)

    Great. Thank you very much!

    Is is possible to invite other editors from Japanese translation team to join Kansai dialect?

    I'm a bit hesitant to just assume all of them are interested in collaborating. Do you have the "Email team" link on the users page? If so, maybe you could write them a nice message to ask them to request to join the team if they're interested in helping out :)
