If you want to use an online translation interface, I'd recommend Pootle over Rosetta. Pootle is free software. You can also use it to run your own server, online or offline.

For now, I think Tokioposted a link to instructions on how to start with translations, and youcan just send new catalogs and templates to us and we'll get them into the source tree.
I'd love to start, but the link Tokio posted led to this:
Have you read README-I18N.en in the distribution tar ball? The sectionentitled 'ADDING NEW TRANSLATIONS' should be followed before you designate language in mm_cfg.py (not Defaults.py).
I don't have the tarball. I run Mac OSX, and I don't have mailman on my system. Where can I find this howto online, please?
In short, you should have templates/iw/* and messages/iw/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.(po|mo) files although the translationmay not be complete. You may have to edit Makefile(.in) if you do thisin the source code directory.
I am simply a translator who wants to help. I do not have any coding skills, nor am I able now to acquire them, due to illness.
I can edit .po files, I can submit them via email, CVS or SVN, and I can do simple edits in specific files like configure.in _iff_ I am told exactly what file, where to find it, and what to do.
If I can get hold of the howto, plus the PO files, I can get started. Please tell me where I can do this.
Thankyou. :)from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do)
