- <li>log on to the local localizer at

+<p>There are 3 screens of strings which need to be translated; you can select
+these from the first drop-down menu. You can translate from any language
+to any language. However, some languages may not contain all the strings,
+so it's safest to translate from the <code>Default</code> values. After you
+are done with a screen, don't forget to press the <code>Save</code> button
+at the bottom; otherwise your changes will be lost!</p>
+
+<p>Your localization changes will be automatically reflected in the next
+release. If you send an e-mail to the
+<a href="http://sympa.mdlf.org/wws/info/campcaster-dev">
+developers' mailing list</a>, then we can thank you and add your name to
+the list of contributors.</p>

-<p>Notes on the file format:
+<p>Notes:
<ul>
- <li>The symbol <code>{0}</code> means that some variable data (usually audio clip or playlist title) goes there. For example: <code>"I could not find ''{0}''."</code> becomes <code>"Ich habe ''{0}'' nicht gefunden."</code> in German.</li>
- <li>The underscore characters show hotkeys: e.g., <code>"_Open"</code> means that Alt-O is a hotkey for the Open menu item. These need to be unique within each group, i.e., you can't have <code>"M_ove"</code> in the same menu.</li>
+ <li>Try to keep the length of the translated strings short:
+ it should not be much longer than the original English version.
+ This is <b>very important</b> for button labels (look at the key for
+ the string; button labels end with "ButtonLabel").
+ <li>The symbol <code>{0}</code> means that some variable data
+ (song title, file name, etc) goes there. For example:
+ <code>"I could not find ''{0}''."</code> becomes
+ <code>"Ich habe ''{0}'' nicht gefunden."</code> in German.</li>
+ <li>The underscore characters show hotkeys: e.g., <code>"_Open"</code>
+ means that Alt-O is a hotkey for the Open menu item.
+ These need to be unique within each group, i.e., you can't have
+ <code>"M_ove"</code> in the same menu.</li>
