42)     <a href="https://www.transifex.com/">Transifex</a> is a website that
43) lets users

44)     contribute translations online using their web browser. A project may have
45)     many files that can be translated. In transifex, these files are called
46)     resources. Transifex lists all sentences or phrases (called "strings") used
47)     by a particular resource, and allows interested volunteers to translate

48)     individual sentences or phrases as they are able.
49)     </p>

50) 

51)     <p>

52)     You can check the status of all translations for a given resource by visiting
53)     each resource page. All statuses are updated in real time when new
54)     translations are added.

55)     </p>

58)     To get started with Transifex, you need to sign up for an

59)     account. Visit the <a

60)     href="https://www.transifex.com/signup/">account

61) registration

62)     page</a> to get started. Be sure to enter a proper email address and a
63)     strong password. Once that's done, click on the resource you wish to
64)     translate, choose your language and click the "Translate Now" button.
65)     Transifex will allow you to lock a translation to notify others that you
66)     are working on it. You can also download the po file, translate it offline
67)     and upload it when you are finished.

68)     </p>

71)     Transifex supports automatic translations using the Google Translate API
72)     (which currently supports 50-something languages). If the language you are
73)     working on is supported by the Google Translate API, you will see a yellow
74)     lightning bolt on the left side of the text field (on mouseover).

75)     </p>

76) 

77)     <p>

78)     If you're able, please translate the strings you see and click the 'Save All'
79)     button at the bottom of the page. If you're unsure, click the 'Suggestions'
80)     button (visible when you move the mouse over the text area). Feel free to leave

81)     comments for any of the translations if you feel it's important to clarify
82)     anything.
83)     </p>

84) 

85)     <p>
86)     For more advanced users who like to translate without a web browser, you can

87)     also download the .po file directly. You'll find this option after clicking
88)     on a resource name and a language. If this option fits your working habits,
89)     by all means, please use it! You may find a program called <a
90)     href="http://www.poedit.net/">Poedit</a> to make the job easier, especially
91)     for right-to-left languages that don't work as well in text editors. If
92)     you're using Poedit, you should disable compiling .mo files in Poedit's
93)     preferences (File -&gt; Preferences -&gt; Editor -&gt; Behavior, uncheck
94)     "Automatically compile .mo file on save"). When you're finished translating
95)     the .po file, you can upload it by clicking on the resource name of the
96)     file you translated, choosing your language and clicking on "Upload file"
97)     button.
