 		work to do. Furthermore, &opie; evolves and thus most likely there are
 		translations for applications which should be updated. In this tutorial
 		you will learn how to help &opie; to be available in as many languages as

 		the open-source community.

 		CVS is a tool which the developers and most translators use to get the source

 		<programlisting>cvs up</programlisting>
 		
 		If there is already a translation for the language you would like to
 		translate you will see the language code in that directory.  For example,
 		for german this is <programlisting>de</programlisting> and for danish it is
 		
 		<programlisting>da</programlisting>
 		
 		If not, you should contact the coordinator

 		<filename class='extension'>pro</filename>
 		Every application has a .pro-file from which the Makefiles are generated.  As a translator
 		you need to check if in every .pro-file is a line for the language you want to translate to.  
 		This line should look like:
 
 		<programlisting>
 			 ../../../i18n/de/today.ts \
