It might happen that you see <emphasis>type="obsolete"</emphasis> in a
.ts-file. You should not translate these stings as they do no longer appear in the
application. The translationcoordinator removes those strings from time to time. In
Linguist those strings are grey and not translatable.

As a translator one needs to know three different filetypes.
<filename class='extension'>ts</filename>
.ts-files are the most important files for translators. In these files are all strings which
need to be translated and the translations themselfs. All .ts-files are located in
<filename class='directory'>OPIEDIR/i18n/xx</filename> while xx is a languagecode (eg. de or de).
In theory .ts-files are the only ones a translator needs to know.
<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.

<programlisting>
../../../i18n/de/today.ts \
</programlisting>
Usually the translationcoordinator takes care of these entries so you should not
need to edit them.
<filename class='extension'>qm</filename>
These are binary files used by &opie; to display the translated strings. They are
automatically generated by calling the command <command>make lrelease</command>. Of course,

The translationfiles should never be updated by the translators. Only the
