Sorry for crossposting. CLDR data submission has started this week, we're looking for more translators: so far I have added 23 new translators who made over a thousands translations and seem happy with the system. Instructions are kept up to date at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/CLDR#Contribute_to_an_existing_locale.
As you know, Wikimedia projects exist in almost 300 languages; supporting them all is a big effort so we partner with other organisations, also via Unicode. One small but visible thing we miss is that many interwiki links in sidebar (among others) don't offer a translation of the language name when hovered. This can be fixed: we're now able to translate 100 more language names in your language.[1]
If you're interested, I can create you an account to submit translations on the CLDR web tool (within June 14): please send an email[2] to ask one and I'll follow up with instructions. On CLDR you can translate and tweak many other things, if you desire; your work will impact hundreds of software projects.[3]

Still about ten days left to add new translations of CLDR (Unicode) standard.

And now we're at 30 new translators, 18 of whom made 5812 "edits"! They're all amusing. :)
We're notably missing, among our languages' "top 10": activity for Spanish, German, Russian; any translator for French, Portuguese, Chinese; and in top 20, Turkish, Swedish, Arabic, Czech, Indonesian, Ukrainian, Persian.
I also see that the following it urgently wanted:

And now we're at 30 new translators, 18 of whom made 5812 "edits"! They're all amusing. :)
And the total reached some 11k translations. In one round Wikimedia went from 0 to about 10 % of total active translators and perhaps 7 % of translations. :)
Totals submitters: 239 new submitted items: 312,418 new data: 135,045 changed data: 20,528

If you speak any of these languages or know someone who does: volunteers for the next round of CLDR are very welcome, please see instructions at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/CLDR#Contribute_to_an_existing_locale
There are already patches for updates to 26: * https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/161912/ * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62346#c16 so this work has a quick and big impact on our wikis.

Is it possible/useful to “adopt” an already-existing guest account at CLDR (which I have) under the WMF organisation?

Yes: it will increase your votes from 1 to 4. I'm not able to do that myself, but if you email me your user ID (email address) it usually gets done by the CLDR admins very quickly.

Oh, cool, I didn't know that! In that case, I'm interested as well. My user ID is waldir.pimenta@gmail.com.
