    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 Pidgin's About window.

    8 Great!  We love translations!  At first you should look at the current translation statistics at [http://developer.pidgin.im/l10n/].  There you can see if there is already a translation for your language and whether this translation is complete and actively maintained.  If there is already a translation, you can find the translator's name in the header of the .po file for your language.

    1010The second 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.  If there is already a translation which is not actively maintained, you can also offer your help.
