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]
