Hi,
Before I outline the steps for you to retrieve the POT/PO files from
cvs repository, what language are you interested in doing the
translation? In Fedora translation project, we have separate language
specific mailing lists for each language group to discuss their own
translation related problems. You can see the lists at the bottom of
this page.
Please subscribe to the language group that you are going to
participate.
Now, please follow the instruction below to retrieve the files from
central cvs repository:
======================================================================================================
Once you have submitted account request, and got it approved, you can
start to check out the modules.
The CVSROOT for the software translation module is ":ext:username@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS".
You can add aliases in your ~/.bashrc file to make life easier. The
alias name can be changed using your own preference. And don't forget
to substitute the "username" with your user name. eg:
alias cvs-software='export CVSROOT=:ext:username@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS'
Now, you are ready to check out modules. The module name for software
po files is "translate". e.g.
[username@host homedirectory]$ cvs-software
[username@host homedirectory]$ cvs -z9 co translate
You should be able to find all software package names under ~/translate/ directory. Under each package, there
are a number of po files such as "de.po" or "zh_TW.po". The name
represents the language code.
Once you have checked out all of the modules under translate/
directory, you can always do 'cvs up' command to get the latest version
for all of the modules.
========================================================================================================
Hope this helps. If you have any further question, please don't
hesitate to ask here.
Cheers,
Ben

I just subscribed to the mailing list and registered an account at
fedora.redhat.com.
So how do I start now? Are there any .pot files? and where can I get
them?
Thanks.
