String freeze for the pacman 3.2.1 release is now in effect. We have about 10 messages per language that are either fuzzy or new in this release, so nothing too serious. I've made some of the easy updates myself for your convenience: "Description:" -> remove the space "None" -> remove the '\n' "downloading %s\n" -> copy from the "Downloading %s" text if it was obvious to me "Are you sure" makepkg question -> remove the "[Y/n]" text
Our pacman translation policy is outlined here. The important sections for translators are the introduction and up to (and including) pre-release updates. http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/translation-help.html
As stated in the above document, PO files have been made available to translate: http://code.toofishes.net/pacman/po_files/
I'm shooting for a midweek release, so we have about 4 days to get translation updates in.
Languages we currently have: cs:Vojtěch Gondžala vojtech.gondzala@gmail.com de: Matthias Gorissen matthias@archlinux.de en_GB: Jeff Bailes thepizzaking@gmail.com (Already complete) es: Juan Pablo Gonzalez jotapesan@gmail.com fr: Xavier Chantry shiningxc@gmail.com hu: Nagy Gabor ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu it: Giovanni Scafora linuxmania@gmail.com pl: Mateusz Herych heniekk@gmail.com pt_BR: Hugo Doria hugo@archlinux.org ru: Sergey Tereschenko serg.partizan@gmail.com tr: Samed Beyribey beyribey@gmail.com zh_CN: 甘露(Lu.Gan) rhythm.gan@gmail.com
If you wish to help translate, but your language is already listed as handled by someone, please contact them at the above addresses. If the language is listed as "no current translator", then please reply to ALL on this message stating you are doing the translation so we do not have duplicated effort (although you are more than welcome to work in teams).
Once you have updated or completed a translation, simply tar and gzip the files up and send them back to pacman-dev@archlinux.org with a [translation] prefix in the message.
For those that are used to the old method of updating translations (GIT patches), those are still acceptable as well. Please prefix the patch with "translation:" so it can be picked out easily.
Any questions should be answered if you reply to this email on the list.

I got the latest pacman.pot from http://code.toofishes.net/pacman/po_files/pacman/ and there is "Removing info/doc files..." but in makepkg.sh.in in git tree there is: if [ "$(check_option docs)" = "n" ]; then msg2 "$(gettext "Removing doc files...")"
How this could happen? And what to do?

Because our minor releases come off the 'maint' branch.
Try taking a look at maint instead of master: git checkout origin/maint
