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
1. "make xx.gmo" in the po directory to compile updated xx.po translation
2. "make install" in root lyx tree to copy xx.gmo into the appropriate location
(or do it by hand...)
For advanced users - if you want to remerge your files against current source
files run make update-po.

You can manually use diff utility to make patch; usually the most comfortable
way is to run something like (after you edit xx.po):
svn diff xx.po > xx.po.patch

Also you can check http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk to track
changes or watch updates.

How can I update an existing po file?
-------------------------------------
It requires a bit of work to get started, but once you are set up,
the procedure should be relatively easy:
1) Getting ready
Get and install gettext (available from ftp://alpha.gnu.org). Read the
documentation for gettext. Then get the latest LyX distribution including
patches, and unpack it in your home directory. It is yet better if you checkout
the CVS version of LyX.
Read the README in the LyX distribution.
Check the mailing list archives to learn what is going on at the moment.
Consider subscribing to the developer's mailing list, lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org.
2) Preparing a patch
Now do (where XX stands for the code of your language):
cp -R lyx-*.*.* lyx.new
(Which makes a copy of the source distribution for
you to change, but you should work in a CVS workarea)
cd lyx.new/po/
make XX.pox
(It merges the po file into the temporary file XX.pox)
emacs XX.pox
(Using po-mode. Emacs is convenient for po editing, but not
mandatory.)
(Make all necessary changes in XX.pox, and save.)
mv XX.pox XX.po
rm XX.pox~
(To remove Emacs autosave.)
make XX.gmo
(Update the ChangeLog file.)
cd ..
(Maybe update lib/CREDITS)
cvs diff -u > XX_po_update.patch
(Or whatever good method to have a patch in unified diff format)
3) Submitting the patch
Check your patch and mail it to lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org
Thanks!
