+Conventions
+-----------
+
+There are some conventions that l10n contributors must follow:
+
+ 1. The subject of each commit should be prefixed with `l10n: `.
+ 2. The length of commit log title (subject) should be less than 50
+ characters, and the length of other lines (commit log body)
+ should be no more than 72 characters.
+ 3. Add "Signed-off-by" trailer to your commit log, like other
+ commits in Git. You can automatically add the trailer by
+ committing with `git commit -s`.
+ 4. Check syntax with `msgfmt` or `po-helper.sh check` before
+ committing.
+ 5. Squash trivial commits to make history clear.
+ 6. Do NOT edit files outside po/ directory.
+ 7. Other subsystems ("git-gui", "gitk", and Git itself) have their
+ own workflow. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches if you want
+ to make contributions to these subsystems.
