<para>
As you can see the markup is very simple. The part between two source-tags is
the english text which appears if there is no translation yet. In the first
case this is <quote>New</quote>. The next row is where the translated string
would be. The first two messages are already translated, the third is
not. This is marked by the
<programlisting>type="unfinished"</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
If you choose to use an editor like VIM instead of the prefered tool
-Linguist- you have to remove that mark and add the translated string
between the two translation-tags.
</para>
<para>
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.
