[TYPO3-english] Amharic Translation

[Historia]

Ok, I will try my best. I am now registered as a new user tamesol in 
typo3.org with my office mailaddress because my historia name which I 
though having registered years ago is not working or has another problem.

So I will send an email and ask to be registered with the new language 
and I will try to get some other helpers.
