 SliTaz LiveUSB utility aka TazUSB. Please read the manual for more information.
 
 
+Installation
+------------
+To install all needed file and compile translated message, make and gettext
+must be installed. Running 'make install' will install everything in /usr, but
+an other path and/or destination can be sprcified via PREFIX and DESTDIR.
+Example:
+
+	$ make DESTDIR=$PWD/_pkg install
+
+Translation
+-----------	
+To start a new translation please use msginit from the pot file directory,
+example for French/France locale (fr_FR):
+
+	$ msginit -l fr_FR -o fr.po -i tazusb.pot
+
+To update all translations from the pot file:
+
+	$ make msgmerge
+
+To compile po files for testing purpose you can use 'make msgfmt' or compile
+manualy your translation. Example for french locale, note that file must be 
+copied into /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES so gettext can found it:
+
+	$ msgfmt -o tazusb.mo fr.po
+
