-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!
