1 Translators create a translation by creating the appropriate .po file in the /po
2 directory. Please see the gettext info pages for an overview and instructions.
3 Basically: Add your language code to the ALL_LINGUAS= line in configure.in,
4 then get started translating the strings in your ??.po file.
5 Note: The strings for debug output is intentionally not marked for translation.
