I've rewritten
http://openoffice.apache.org/translate.html
to update it and refer to the wiki when suitable.

A "Tips for translators" section, that used to be in translate.html, is
now merged into
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Pootle_User_Guide/Translation_AOO_User_Interface
and
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Pootle_User_Guide/Offline_Translation#Work_Offline

I removed the following tips since I think they are outdated. Please let me know if this not the case. If they still apply, I'll copy them to one of the pages above.

1. Do not translate the file <tt>basic/source/app.po</tt>; these strings belong to an outdated tool (TestTool) no longer distributed with OpenOffice. Ignore that
file and return it exactly as you received it.

 1. When you save a file in POEdit, you may receive the error "Header Field
Project-Id-Version still has the initial default value". That error is not problematic in itself, since that field is not used in the current localization process. However, it may shadow other errors, so it's better that you edit your PO file settings (in POEdit: Catalog - Settings) and replace "PACKAGE_VERSION" with something like "aoo40" and "LANGUAGE" with the English name of your language (e.g., "German", "Italian", "Spanish"...).

Regards,
  Andrea.
