What's changed?

Upload your translation templates
Launchpad works with GNU gettext format translation files and templates. To tell Launchpad which English strings you want to make available for translation, you need to upload one or more template files.
Quick tip |
Read the ''gettext'' manual to learn how to make the strings in your code translatable. |
