+Contributing
+------------
+
+Patches, bug fixes, and specially, new translations (or updates to the
+existing ones) are welcome. Development uses git as VCS and takes place on
+http://github.com/mones/clawsker/.
+
+To create a new translation just change to 'po' directory, copy 'clawsker.pot'
+into 'xx.po' or 'xx_YY.po', and fill the empty strings and placeholder values.
+The 'xx' is your language code (e.g.: 'en' for English, 'fr' for French, etc.)
+and, optionally, 'YY' defines your country variant (e.g.: 'de_CH' for German
+variant in Switzerland). Country should be used only if your translation is
+really specific to that location, otherwise, and specially for new languages,
+try use the generic language (you can always submit a specific one later).
+
+Once finished you can test your new translation by adding your 'xx' or 'xx_YY'
+code to the LINGUAS variable in Makefile and running make. A new .mo file
+with the same name of your .po file should be created if everything is right.
+
+To update an existing translation just type 'make xx.pox' or 'make xx_YY.pox'
+and update the new .pox file created, copy the .pox file to the .po file and
+test it as above (no need to modify the Makefile this time).
+
+Bugs
+----
+
+You can send bug reports on http://github.com/mones/clawsker/issues/ list.
+Also directly by mail to me or in the Claws Mail mailing list, but the Issues
+list is the preferred way.
