 Why SVN? Our localizers like to use either SVN or Verbatim.
-
 Why a git repo to mirror an SVN repo? This allows us to have an external reference and update easily.

+L10n Update
+===========
+
+Follow these steps to update strings for L10n.
+
+We are using English strings for gettext message ids.
+
+Environment Setup
+-----------------
+
+Your top level directory named locale should be an SVN repository.
+This is because we will generate files there and we'll
+commit via SVN. Developers who never deal with L10n
+do not need to worry about this kind of setup. It's often
+easier to have a L10n dev setup, which a cron job updates
+the sources, updates the strings, and compiles the po
+files and lastly commiting to SVN.
+
+Instructions:
+-------------
+
+1. ``./manage.py extract ``
+2. ``./manage.py verbatimize --rename``
+   This will copy the POT files created in step 1 to templates/LC_MESSAGES
+3. ``./manage.py merge``
+
+Optional:
+---------
+
+4. ``locale/compile-mo.sh locale``
+
+New Locales:
+------------
+
+Assuming you want to add 'fr':
+
+#. ``mkdir -p locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES``
+#. ``./manage.py merge``
+
+or
+
+#. ``msginit --no-translator -l fr -i templates/LC_MESSAGES/messages.pot -o fr/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po``
+#. repeat for other POT files
