Working on a collaboration with Translators Without Borders to translate 80 key medical articles into Dari. Have added a couple here http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/prs/%D8%B3%D8%B1%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%AE%D9...

Good day James, This is a good initiative !
For the templates, they need to be created on the Incubator for that Wiki, with the title Template:Wp/language_code/Template_name. After that you can use it as any other templates on other Wikis, but you need to remember to include the prefix "Wp/language_code".
I guess by your question about dari being recognized as an official language, you mean the creation of the Wikipedia in Dari with its own subdomain? If it is the case, you need to go on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages . Note that two of the requirements for approval for the creation is to have an "active" community on the project in the Incubator and that most of the main MediaWiki messages need to be translated on Translatewiki.
If you have further question, I guess you could ask the Language Committee.

Hoi, Dari is an official language ... it is recognised as an ISO-639-3 language code prs [1]. There is a formal procedure and to start the process of getting a Wikimedia project a request has to be made [2]. Once the process is made, the eligibility will be considered. When a language is eligible, the work done in the incubator will be rewarded with a project when the set requirements are met.

PS ping me once the request has been made. Thanks, GerardM
