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 intltool-update [lang]  (ie. 
intltool-update 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
