+The dgit source package contains dgit and git-debrebase.
+
+Translation organisation:
+
+ po/messages.pot all messages from both dgit and git-debrebase
+ po/LANG.po translations of those
+ po/mo output directory, do not look here
+
+ po4a/ documentation (TBD)
+
+Important make targets for translators.
+NB all of these are after "cd po/".
+
+ make <LANGUAGE>.po Create <LANGUAGE>.po so you can start translating,
+ or update messages.pot <LANGUAGE>.po.
+
+ make all-po Updates messages.pot from all the sources,
+ with new messages, and merges them into
+ all the language-specific .po files
+
+ make check Update everything and then check everything
+ and print translation statistics.
+
+The en_US translation is slightly special. It is used for testing the
+translation machinery, and since the source native language is en_GB,
+there is not much other need for the en_US translation.
