"The tests are failing on the HTMLProofer check because it's looking for /so/. Since this is the first Somali translation, the Somali index/homepage doesn't exist yet. How would you like me to handle this? Should I translate the homepage in this PR as well?"

"Hi team! I've added the Somali (so) translation for the 'How to Contribute' guide and resolved the markdown linting errors.

However, the CI is currently failing on the test suite (rake aborted! with 1 error) and the HTMLProofer is failing because it's looking for the /so/ homepage path. Since Somali is a brand-new language for the Open Source Guides, I believe the site configuration or locale data needs to be updated to initialize the language.

Could you point me in the right direction to configure the new language, or would a maintainer be able to initialize the /so/ route?"
