+Translators create a translation by creating the appropriate .po file in the /po
+directory. Please see the gettext info pages for an overview and instructions.
+Basically: Add your language code to the   ALL_LINGUAS=   line in configure.in,
+then get started translating the strings in your ??.po file.
+Note: The strings for debug output is intentionally not marked for translation.
+
+To update a specific translation, one may use make update-po PO=[lang]  (ie. make update-po PO=fr).
+
+To update all translation files, use make update-po.
+You should only use it when needed (before a release or when there were many
+changes in source code).
+
+
+
+Helper scripts:
+
+gen_translations_stats.sh	generate statistics about translations
+regen_potfiles.sh		generate a patch to sync POTFILES.in with current source files
