To start translating, you need to get the gnomemeeting.pot file. This file
contains the messages that are to be translated. You can get this file many
ways. One is by using anonymous GNOME CVS access and checking out the
"gnomemeeting" module, and going into the po directory. There you can run
"intltool-update --pot" to generate a fresh pot file.
Instructions on how to use anonymous GNOME CVS access are at:

	http://developer.gnome.org/tools/cvs.html

Another option is to get the pot file by clicking on the appropriate
"gnomemeeting" link for your locale on the GNOME translation status pages at

	http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/status/

If there isn't already a translation of gnomemeeting for your locale, the link
will instead be pointing to the pot file. This is an easy way to get the pot
file. This pot file is refreshed once a day together with the rest of the
status pages, so it might be some hours out of date if changes were recently
made to the GnomeMeeting sources.

Once you have the pot file, rename it to LL.po (replace LL with the language
code of the language you are translating to, like "sv" for Swedish). Then it's
just a matter of filling out the headers (if you are not sure about what the
headers should be, ask your language team), and filling out the pairs:

	msgid "This is a message from the application."
	msgstr ""

In the example above, your translation should go inside the quotes after the
msgstr. Proceed this way until all messages in the file have a translation. If
you are unsure about anything regarding this, ask your language team.

Once you have completed the translation, you should check with msgfmt that the
translation is syntactically correct. You can do that by doing this:

	msgfmt -cvv LL.po

If there is any error, please go back and correct it. When all errors are gone,
send the translation to a person in your language team that has GNOME CVS
access, and tell him/her to please commit it.

That's it. If you have any question regarding the PO format, gettext or
translations, please ask your language team. If the question is specific to
GnomeMeeting (such as the messages themselves or GnomeMeeting code), ask
GnomeMeeting developers.

Thanks for your help!
