3) WHAT DO I NEED TO TRANSLATE?
If your using a simple text editor you should translate the strings that appear
in the msgid line and write the translation into the msgstr line. Note that a
"#, fuzzy" line is just a hint for translation from compiler - in order to get
the translation of the current item working you have to delete this line. It is
recommended that you would take a look at another .po file - that way you can
get an idea of what to do. If your using a specialized po editor then you will
see in it the untranslated strings and a place to write your translation for
them.

SVN repository) and replace the existing .po with yours. Afterwards, you should
compile and install LyX (check the INSTALL file for your OS). If you don't
install LyX it won't work. For running LyX with your translation, use the

xx stands for your language code. CC stands for your country code. So to get,

The most comfortable way to see your updated translation while editing, is
running (in linux):
1. "make xx.po" in po directory to compile updated xx.po translation
2. "make install" in root lyx tree to copy xx.gmo into the appropriate location
