Pidgin Persian language translator request

[Elnaz Sarbar]

Hi Mark,

I think Hossein jumped the gun a bit :)
He sent a request to join the team on Nov 5th and I answered him on the
6th. Right now I'm waiting for him to send me a sample of his translation
and if it's good I will be more than happy to have him on the team.

Best,
Elnaz
