+# Updating translations
+
+Translations for the Reminders app happen in [Launchpad Translations][] and
+are automatically committed daily on the trunk branch in the po/ folder.
+
+They are then built and installed as part of the package build, so that
+developers don't really need to worry about them.
+
+However, there is one task that needs to be taken care of: exposing new
+translatable messages to translators. So whenever you add new translatable
+messages in the code, make sure to follow these steps:
+
+ 1. Change directory to the po/ folder: `cd po`
+ 2. Update the translations template: `qmake && make pot`
+ 3. Commit the generated .pot file: `bzr commit -m"Updated translation template"`
+ 4. Push the branch and send a merge proposal as usual
+
+And that's it, once the branch lands Launchpad should take care of all the rest!
+
+# Behind the scenes
+
+Behind the scenes, whenever the po/*.pot file (also known as translations template)
+is committed to trunk Launchpad reads it and updates the translatable strings
+exposed in the web UI. This will enable translators to work on the new strings.
+The translations template contains all translatable strings that have been
+extracted from the source code files.
+
+Launchpad will then store translations in its database and will commit them daily
+in the form of textual po/*.po files to trunk. The PO files are also usually
+referred to as the translations files. You'll find a translation file for each
+language the app has got at least a translated message available for.
+
+Translations for core apps follow the standard [gettext format].
