Hi Thiago,

Here's a quick tutorial to get started:
1. Get Ævar's fork of git.git from [1] and checkout the `ab/i18n-all`
   branch.
2. Read the instructions in po/README to create the actual .po file.
3. Get an editor that has transliteration support. For example, for
   Emacs and Hindi, execute (set-input-method devanagari-itrans) and
   use C-\ to switch between the input methods. 
4. If you're not able to find a suitable editor or otherwise, use
   Google Transliterate [2].
5. Optionally, copy out some additional headers from `po/is.po` etc.
6. Translate and send the patch to the list.

Hope that helps.
