+<h1>Scope</h1>
+This document is written to help non-developers translate the LiveSupport 
+software into new languages.<br>
+
+<h1>Introduction</h1>
+LiveSupport has two user interfaces: a web interface, intended mainly for
+radio station administrators (Station), and a stand-alone graphical user
+interface, for disk jockeys and such (Studio).<br>
+
+<h1>Localization of LiveSupport Station</h1>
+Please do the localization at
+<p><a href="http://ls-dev.campware.org/~sebastian/htmlUI/var/localizer/"><code>http://ls-dev.campware.org/~sebastian/htmlUI/var/localizer/</code></a></p>
+<p>(user name is "root", and the password is "q").  When done, send a notice to
+the <a href="http://sympa.mdlf.org/wws/info/livesupport-dev">developers' mailing
+list</a>.</p>
+
+<font size="-1">
+<p>If you must do the localization offline for some reason, please 
+<ul>
+    <li>check out the latest files from CVS</li>
+    <li>log on to the local localizer at
+        <code>http://YOURSERVER/livesupport/localizer</code></li>
+    <li>send the changed <code>locals.??_??.xml</code> file(s) from the folders
+        <ul>
+            <li><code><livesupport-cvs>/modules/htmlUI/var/</code> and</li>
+            <li><code><livesupport-cvs>/modules/htmlUI/var/localizer/</code></li>
+        </ul>
+        to the <a href="http://sympa.mdlf.org/wws/info/livesupport-dev">developers'
+        mailing list</a>.</li>
