			This directory contains all the translations of CDSware in all the
			supported languages.

			For each language whose 2 letters codename is <xx>, a file named
			<xx>.po exists, and contains a list of sentences to translate. This
			file is in GNU Gettext format. Please consult the Gettext
			documentation for more information.

			<http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>


			* What are all those files?

			The directory contains a few scripts (i18n-*.py) and the actual
			translation files.

			- <xx>.po files are the master translations. These are the files
			containing the actual work of the translators

			- <xx>.mo are compiled translation files. They are recomputed during
			build time, and installed in the target directory

			- cdsware.pot is the template containing all the requested
			translations, fetched from the source code and the html files.

			- compendium-<xx>.po is a base of known translations, extracted from
			messages.py. It is only necessary during the transition from the
			previous system.


			* Adding a new language file

			To add support for a new language <xx>, do:

			make update-po-files
			cp cdsware.pot <xx>.po

			...and fill in the translations in file <xx>.po.

			* Synchronizing the translations with the code

			When some sentences have been modified or added in the code, and the
			translations must be updated accordingly, do:

			make update-po-files

			...and update all the files. To have an idea of the files requiring
			modifications, run:

			make check-translations
