Can you tell us a bit more about the ISO language code for Dari Persian?
Which would you think would be more correct for a new team?

* fa_AF
* prs

I could not find any Dari Persian translation efforts in GNOME or KDE to

have you thought about collaborating with the existing Persian
projects? 

Thanks!

David.
