You shouldn't send them to the mailing list, send them instead to
someone with cvs access. That can be me or Kjartan or someone else on
#i18n on irc.gnome.org.

Currently I'm having hardware problems, I need to return the mainboard
on my main workstation, so I won't have too quick turnaround times
myself, though. You may have better luck sending the files to someone
else.

Some steps that are good to always do before you send a po file to
someone is to:

1) make sure the file is encoded in UTF-8 (for GNOME2 translations)
2) make sure that it passes a test with "msgfmt -Ccv he.po"
3) for example gzip the file before attaching it to a mail (otherwise,
some mailers tend to do bad things with the encoding).

When you have contributed a few translations, you may apply for a cvs
account.


Cheers,
