Hi there! (it's been a while :))

So, here's the list of missing steps to make the GNOME website translatable :-)

- Make sure gettext & msgfmt are installed in gnome.org server

Right now checking for translation updates gives a msgfmt error, probably because it's not installed. To test this, the following link shouldn't give any errors

http://www.gnome.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wppo&checkforlangupdates=1&force=1

- Update POT file with template strings

Besides the static and dynamic content already present on damned-lies, the template strings must also be translated. To do so, gnome-grass.pot must be updated using xgettext, by checking all the PHP files from gnome-grass template.


WordPress documentation gives an alternative way to do the same thing: http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers#Generating_a_POT_file

- Integrate the template strings with damned lies (like any other pot file from git)

translated PO files should be located on languages folder[1], and PO should be named as default, like "pt_BR.po", "es.po".



After all those items are done, managing the translation should work entirely on http://www.gnome.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wppo. There you can pull the translators work by clicking in "check for translation updates" and push strings to translators on "send again".
