Lexicons for rpms in smecontribs and smeserver are automatically added to pootle.

A patch is automatically created at http://translate.contribs.org/patches/ You then apply this to the rpm to apply the new translations.

We need a few volunteers to apply these patches, say weekly, or more or less as the need arises, it isn't difficult and we will guide you.

The english locale file is used as the pootle template. Other languages are edited/translated at pootle.

Every time you modify, add to or remove strings from the english locale file, just re-commit to cvs. There is a daily update to apply cvs changes to pootle

Make your original FM file XML strict. Always close the opened tags (<i>...</i>). Use the same caps for tags (<b> is not equal to <B>).
