-then get started translating the strings in your ??.po file.
-Note: The strings for debug output is intentionally not marked for translation.
+Coders, please resync po/POTFILES.in if you add or remove source files from src/
+directory (using regen_potfiles.sh script in po/) and re-run make update-po

+Translators, please have a look at po/README.
