I passed the request on to the Apache OpenOffice l10n list, which has a lot of translators (and other localization-ers).
I assume you have also reached out to the many other open source localization groups, e.g., Mozilla's?

Once a translation is complete, community members should test the tools and provide any cultural, linguistic, user experience, and technical input you have for developers.
