You can read about it here:

The English strings are added to the *.po files automatically, using 
certain commands (I forget the details). Then the translators add the 
translated versions, and create a patch file, which is then reviewed by 
the translation team.

I haven't done translations myself, so I don't know all the details. Ask 
the Italian translation team directly if you want to start helping them.
