Description
### Description
Hi NetBeans Team,
I would like to request and contribute to the addition of Lao (lo) language support for Apache NetBeans. Currently, there is no Lao localization available.
I am an active open-source contributor (previously contributed to Godot Engine, Debian, and various other projects) and I'm ready to translate the .properties files for the NetBeans IDE.
I have two questions:
1.Since account creation on translate.apache.org is currently prohibited, how can I obtain the latest translation templates?
2.Should I submit the translated files via a GitHub Pull Request or is there a preferred internal process for localization?
I want to help Laotian students and developers access this great IDE in our native language.
Best regards,
Bone NI (@bounkirdni-2025)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by determining how Apache NetBeans distributes its .properties translation templates and whether translate.apache.org or a GitHub pull request is the supported entry point. Done means Lao (lo) translations are prepared and submitted through the project's accepted localization process.
