The language code for Guarani is "gn". I think Guarani is spoken in more 
than one country.
1. Which country are you interested in? Specifically, is Guarani spoken 
differently in Brazil or Paraguay? If they are spoken the same, it would 
be very good to join the efforts and call the team simply "gn" 
(otherwise, it would be gn_BR, etc).

2. In addition, I have the impression the Connectiva has done some work 
with a Guarani version of their Linux distribution.
Have a quick look (check Connectiva mailing lists, search Google) in 
case there is some existing work that has not been committed to GNOME.
For example, see (found through Google)
http://www.nabble.com/Re:-ajuda-para-traduo-para-lngua-guarani-t713566.html
for people with similar interest to localise in Guarani.

3. Christian/Danilo, is it possible to add an entry for "gn" (Guarani) 
on the status pages, at http://l10n-status.gnome.org/gnome-2.14/index.html?

4. Raphael has volunteered to "commit" (that is, submit) your work so 
they appear officially together with GNOME. For example, they will 
appear at that Status Pages, at 
http://l10n-status.gnome.org/gnome-2.14/index.html after step 3 is 
completed.
You can download the files to translate from the Statistics pages.
If you want to start straight away, you can visit a Status page of 
another language that has not done any translations yet and pick up the 
empty file from there.
For example, visit
http://l10n-status.gnome.org/gnome-2.14/yo/developer-libs/index.html
and pick "libgnomeui", one of the most common files.
This one contains messages such as "File", "Edit", that are shared among 
all applications.

Hope this helps,
Simos
