+Q: How do I add source files to be translated ?
+A: - Make sure the source file includes either gst-i18n-lib.h (if it's a part
+ of a library/plugin) or gst-i18n-app.h (if it's an application)
+ - Add the file path, relative to the top of the module, to POTFILES.in
+
+Q: How do I add/mark strings to be translated ?
+A: - Use N_(...) to mark for translation.
+ - Use _(...) to get a translated string
+ - run "make gstreamer-0.7.pot-update" to update the .pot file
+
+Q: How do I add a language ?
+A: - copy gstreamer-0.7.pot to your new language.po
+ - add the language code to LINGUAS
+ - edit the header of this language.po file and make it match one of
+ the existing .po files
+ - translate the strings
+
+Q: How do I update a language ?
+A: - run make language.po-update to update your .po file
+ (replace language with your language code)
+ - edit the .po file, and translate the untranslated strings
+ - commit
