The Halakha stuff might determine if she gets a green light to become an Israeli citizen or something similar.
Unlike xtianity or Islam, Judaism doesn't encourage conversion and isn't accepting of those, like the so-called Messianic Jews, who pretend to be Jewish. You can go around telling people "I'm Jewish" but you won't be allowed to participate in any Jewish community.
Jewish law says you can't accept a Jewish identity unless you have a Jewish mother or, in some cases, a Jewish grandmother.
