5) Copy the generated subversion.pot to a file named LANG.po, where
LANG is the language code of your language.
Also, somewhere in this file or HACKING, I'd like to inform developers of
the badness of constructing sentences by code, for example the string:
Error '%s' for '%s'
where the first part is an action, i.e. "restoring props". We also have
some cases in the command line client. These might be hard to translate
into other languages, so it is better to have the complete strings if
possible. I plan to fix those cases if no one gets to it before me:-), but
still I think this is good advice for this file.
