+These are some really nasty shell scripts to merge the translations from
+Launchpad (exported into bzr) into our svn repository.  Run init.sh once to
+create "bzr" and "svn" folders, then run update.sh to update and merge them.
+
+Be sure to check that:
+  * You have all the dependencies for all the optional features installed,
+    so code containing translatable strings isn't compiled out.
+  * No shortcut modifiers (like "Ctrl+L") have been translated - the
+    translations for these must always be in English.
+  * No unexpected files have been added to svn.
+
+There are versions of init.sh and update.sh for the website as well.
+Updating the website needs a bit more manual work:
+  * Update the LANGUAGES list in data.py.  These are the languages that get
+    shown at the bottom of each page.
+  * Make sure the LANGUAGE_NAMES entry for each new language is translated
+    into that native language.
+  * Don't commit any empty (or mostly empty) translations to svn.
