The Translation project doesn't follow usual rules for translation workflow. You have to own a module (in fact, for lifetime!). First you have to write to coordina...@translationproject org to claim a module. Then you translate the po file. After that, you send your file to a »robot«, let's say to a quite stupid robot. He doesn't accept such important mistakes in the file like a wrong version number in "Project-Id-Version:" (who the fuck needs this?) and he grumbles when he has to accept files whose rows are shrinked to 80 characters for better readability by using the well-known »msgcat -w 80« command. The current translator's name *must* be the last one in the file header. After you sent the file with such changes again and again, the file will be accepted, and sent to the real software maintainer.
The described process may take a while, be patient. As I have translated xkeybordconfig, it was approx. 2 months from my first posting to the mailing list to a successful commit. Besides this, the translators are »lonely cowboys«. They get their files from the robot, and they send them back to the robot. There is no tool like Vertimus between, for proofreading and discussions. And especially the German mailing list rests in peace, only robot messages... Unfortunately, that's the one and only way to submit translations for the GStreamer modules and Xkeybordconfig. Have fun!
