I am also slow in answering. Luckily most of the questions are already
answered. I will just comment on the ones that aren't.

In general contributions made by persons that don't have write access to
the repository shall be done by contacting any developer in the project,
preferably the person listed as responsible for the area. The
contributor and the developer will then agree on the best way to
communicate the contribution. Personally I prefer a patch in the mail,
some other developers prefers receiving patches attached to issues. In
this case the change is a set of new files so I guess patch is not a
good idea.

Since you are a registered developer of the argouml-pt-br project you
could just have committed the files as Tom wrote. There is, however,
some more work involved to allow for anyone to run argouml with the
files, to get the files to show up in the list of languages compared in
the nightly build, and to for the translation to be included in a
release. If you want, I can commit the files and set this up i.e. if you
think that this translation is ready for inclusion in the release.

Any addition of keys or change of keys requires work for all
translations. We have not really decided how to best notify all language
teams so we can assume that all language teams work without
notifications (by polling their status regularly).

Notice also that when approaching a stable release we should refrain
from adding keys giving the language teams this time to finish it before
the release. I know the KDE development group have named one of their
pre-releases leading up to their stable releases as something similar to
gui-freeze-point after which no change in the gui is allowed. We have
not really defined if this is during the alpha period or just during the
beta period.

This mechanism will work in the deployed argouml when both the pt
translation and the pt_BR translation are included. As the different
language projects are set-up so far, this won't work when testing from
just the pt-br project. I will try to remember to eventually fix that in
the build.xml file of all "second-level" languages.

There are no "en"-files looked for. Instead we have the default
language, without any language token, that is always present in the
argouml source code and it is English (U.S-style).
