Hi,

please enable Lower Sorbian for translating:

Lower Sorbian is a West Slavic language as Czech, Polish and Slovak and the sister language of Upper Sorbian. It is a minority language spoken by about 7,000 speakers in the German federal state of Brandenburg, in the region Lower Lusatia. Urban center is the city of Cottbus (in Lower Sorbian: Chóśebuz).

It would be very fine if you did not need one year to enable this language for translation.

Thanks.
