This document is here to guide you in helping translate pacman messages,
libalpm messages, and the manpages for the entire pacman package.
A quick note- the gettext website is a very useful guide to read before
embarking on translation work, as it describes many of the commands in more
detail than I will here:

We are currently using http://www.transifex.net/[Transifex] as the translation
platform for pacman and libalpm. You will need to sign up for an account there
and then register with a translation team on the
http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/archlinux-pacman/[pacman project page].
In addition, this site presents a small tutorial that I found useful:

either be hand edited, or modified with a tool such as poedit, gtranslator or
kbabel. Using a translation tool tends to make the job easier.

Pre-release Updates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A week or two before each release, the codebase will go into a string freeze
and an email will be sent by the 'translation lieutenant' to the
mailto:pacman-dev@archlinux.org[pacman-dev] mailing list asking for
translations. This email will have a prefix of *[translation]* for anyone
looking to set up an email filter.

mailing list asking for translations. This email will have a prefix of
*[translation]* for anyone looking to set up an email filter.
At this time, the `.po` language files will be made available at a URL
specified in the email. Each language will have two files available (backend
and frontend). Translators interested in helping are encouraged to send a
follow-up message to the mailing list stating exactly what they intend to
translate so efforts are not duplicated on the same language.
At this time, the latest `.po` language files will be made available at the
Transifex project page. Each language will have two files available (backend
and frontend). Translators interested in helping are encouraged to use the
features of Transifex to let others know they are currently translating their
language.
Once a translator has completed the translation (*OR* realizes they do not have
time to finish), please email the `.po` files back to the list with a subject
such as '[translation] Updated German translation'. At this point, the
'translation lieutenant' will gather the translations together for inclusion in
the upcoming release.

NOTE: Please email your translations back to the list as soon as possible- this
will give other speakers of your language time to review your translations and
update them as necessary.
For those familiar with GIT, you may wish to follow the procedure outlined
below as another alternative.
