== How to Send Translations ==

The best way to send in translations - after registering oneself as translator above - is to create a ticket and to attach the new .po file to that ticket (please don't attach .po files to this page, use the ticket system!). Use "Translations" as the component when you file the ticket, so that it shows up in {13}.

Additionally it would be great if you join the [http://groups.google.com/group/Django-I18N Django I18N mailing list].

== Tools ==

This shoud be a list of useful (and needed) software for translators to work on .po files.

=== Linux and other Unix Systems ===

 * required for make-messages.py and compile-messages.py: the gettext utilties. These should be availabe with your distribution. With Debian based distributions it is the {{{gettext}}} package.

=== Windows ===

 * required for make-messages.py and compile-messages.py: the gettext utilities. The [http://www.cygwin.com/ cygwin installation] looks most promising. Another place would be [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25167 the gettext Download on SourceForge].

 * translating: [http://www.poedit.org/ poEdit] supports fuzzy, plural, translation memory, UTF-8, compiles to .mo files
