> - Use this wiki page

> projects which are partly translated on Tx (like 20% or so), you
> should check if the .po files which are on the SVN do not contain more
> translated strings (maybe Umeaboy, who seems not to be active now,
> started translating from 0 while there were already .po files he could
> have used).
> - Import those .po files to Tx under the right project name (see the
> page linked above for a correspondance).
> - Then you can start the strings which were modified after the fork,
> mostly strings in which "Mageia" replaced "Mandriva" or new/fixed
> strings added by the developers.
>
> If one of the point is not clear enough, feel free to ask for more details.
