    4 We like to have the same person or group of people maintain the translation for a particular language.  If Pidgin already has a translation for the language you want to help with, please contact the translator for that language and ask if there's anything you can do.  It's possible they're looking for someone to take over.  You can find their email address in the Pidgin About window.

    8 Great!  We love translations!  The first thing you should do is join the [http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/translators translators] mailing list and ask if anyone is already working on translating that language.

     10== When should I submit a translation update? ==
     11
     12The translations are shipped with each Pidgin release, so there is no great advantage to submitting a translation multiple times during a release cycle.  We announce a string freeze on the [http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/translators translators mailing list] about 4 days before each release.  This is a promise to you that we will not add any new strings or change any existing ones.  During this time you should finish translating any new strings and submit a new translation to us.
