Translations
------------
If you are able to provide translations for a new language or to update an
existing translation file, make sure to run makemessages beforehand::
python django-admin.py makemessages -l ISO_LANGUAGE_CODE
This command will collect all translation strings from the source directory
and create or update the translation file for the given language. Now open the
translation file (.po) with a text-editor and start editing.
After you finished editing add yourself to the list of translators.
If you have created a new translation, make sure to copy the header from one
of the existing translation files.
