WOW! Thanks guys for all stepping up to the plate for something like this. We'll (Aaron and I) try to make it a priority to figure out our plan of action for this and let you know exactly what we need from you guys. I know the PO and POT files need updating/merging before they should be updated, because some of the messages have changed. We'll definitely take any translations that people want to offer, as our current ones are a bit outdated.
Yeah, I definitely agree with Dan here, you guys rock! I think the first thing would be to take a look at the POT files in libalpm and pacman directories on CVS and see if you can translate those into your target language (they're all probably severely out of date now). As a side note, I know very little about translating, but I am trying to figure out how useful po4a is for translating man pages. Wouldn't it make more sense just to translate the whole man page? I know little about this sort of thing, so feel free to slap some sense into me if I have this wrong. I just feel that po4a might be overkill for the translation of 3 man pages.
