I would like to correct an error in the Codex's instructions about how to localize WordPress. This error apparently causes many people to register WordPress projects on Launchpad when they shouldn't. <https://launchpad.net/projects/?text=wordpress> Probably it also means WordPress isn't being localized as much as it could be.

However, for the past couple of years, I have not been able to log in to the Codex. And when I ask it to e-mail me my password, it never does. So someone else will need to fix it. :-)

The error is in <http://codex.wordpress.org/ Localizing_WordPress#Translating_With_Launchpad>. The seven steps should be replaced by three:

    1.  Go to <https://launchpad.net/wordpress/2.1/+pots/wordpress>.

    2.  Choose "Log In / Register" at the top right, and log in with
        your Launchpad account (or create one if you don't have one
        already).

    3.  Choose a language to begin translating.

The URL in step 1 should be updated whenever a new version of WordPress is released.

Thanks
