    quick roundup:

    cd abi
    ./dumpstrings.pl pt-PT > strings.html

    The above will produce an html file with all strings for en-US and
    pt-PT.

    It will look for the pt-PT.strings file, compare with the basic strings
    file for en-US and check for what's missing.

    Start with one file on a language that you are familiar with, and copy
    it to your-LANG.strings following the convention (language-COUNTRY both
    in two letters).

    do: dumpstrings your-LANG > strings.html
        lynx strings.html (lynx is the best viewer for this file if you're
    on gnu/linux or an unix machine)
        For each string id, change in your-LANG.strings untill you get 100%
    translation and 0 missing string ids.

    Submit either patch or full file (if it is a new language)
