In practice it boiled down to submitting translations by sending mail to the Translation Project robot. The procedure was somewhat nit-picky about technicalities, but once you got the hang of it, it would work well. The full instructions are available here. http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/HTML/translators.html If you don't understand some things, feel free to mail the TP people your questions. I've had very good experiences with them. As for Wget, I always preferred getting translations from the Translation Project, for two reasons: 1. Behind every translation stands the language team comprised of native speakers of the language. If someone has a problem with a translation, I can safely redirect them to the team instead of taking sides in an argument I cannot possibly understand. 2. The TP requires the translators to sign disclaimers for submitted translations. These disclaimers are necessary for the GNU project anyway, so it's as well that the TP takes care of the boring legalese.
