    1.36 +<h3>Website translation</h3>
    1.37 +
    1.38 +<p>
    1.39 +	Here is an howto translate SliTaz website in a new language. First you need
    1.40 +	the original website page in English. You have 2 way to get a full copy
    1.41 +	of the website, use Mercurial and clone the repository or download the
    1.42 +	latest archive in tar.bz2 format. Using Mercurial let you after update your
    1.43 +	local copy in one command and downloading directly from the repository
    1.44 +	let you get just a page if you want. So it'a matter of choice, but if you
    1.45 +	want to manage a language and push changes yourself, you will have to use
    1.46 +	Mercurial, here is <a href="en/devel/forge.php">more info on Hg</a>.
    1.47 +</p>
    1.48 +<p>
    1.49 +	Clone the website or get the latest archive:
    1.50 +</p>
    1.51 +
    1.52 +<pre>
    1.53 +$ hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/website
    1.54 +$ wget <a href="http://hg.slitaz.org/website/archive/tip.tar.bz2">http://hg.slitaz.org/website/archive/tip.tar.bz2</a>
    1.55 +</pre>
    1.56 +
    1.57 +<p>
    1.58 +	Now that you have a full copy of the website you can fix typo or start a new
    1.59 +	translation. The reference is English, so always copy and english page to
    1.60 +	your native language and naturraly keep the website structure intact. When
    1.61 +	you happy with with your work you can sent it the the community like
    1.62 +	explained before.
    1.63 +</p>
    1.64 +<p>
    1.65 +	If you a bit afraid about sending a mail to more than 300 people on the list
    1.66 +	or be exposed on the forum, you can send a private message to one the i18n
    1.67 +	group member on SCN but he might not have time to anser. Keep in mind we are
    1.68 +	a friendly community and ther is no stupid questions.
    1.69 +</p>
    1.70 +
    1.71 +<h3>System translation</h3>
    1.72 +
    1.73 +<p>
    1.74 +	Like said above, the goal is to provide full language support, not only
    1.75 +	with the website or forum, but the system itsef. Everything can be translate
    1.76 +	from menu items to SHell script and GUI boxes. For this we use a standard
    1.77 +	gettext POT files. 
    1.78 +</p>
    1.79 +<p>
    1.80 +	Each translation of a sub-project have is own file named with the language
    1.81 +	prefix, example: pt.po or fr.po. This PO file can be translated with a nice
    1.82 +	graphical editor like POedit on SliTaz. That means you dont need to have
    1.83 +	programming or goog Linux skills to help or maintain a translation.
    1.84 +</p>
    1.85 +<p>
    1.86 +	If a PO file for language doesn't exist yet you can create it yourself or
    1.87 +	ask a contributors to do it and commit the new file to Hg. For each project
    1.88 +	you will find a README file with translation instruction to use msginit
    1.89 +	and other gettext tools. If you want to update or complet a translation
    1.90 +	PO file, you can download it from here or from Hg and then send it to
    1.91 +	the list, the forum or SCN as usual. Note that some project are in the
    1.92 +	same repository such as tazpkg-notify who is part of tazpkg.
