[pacman-dev] translation procedure

[Xavier]

There was a discussion yesterday on irc about simplifying the 
translation process. Stonecrest was basically saying that having to go 
through git might turn off some potential translators, and confuse 
others. And I agree with that.
Translators actually don't even need the pacman source tree, here is how 
the process can go :
19:53   stonecrest >> 1. release coming 2. string freeze 3.
                       dan updates po files 4. people download
                       po files from gitweb and update them 5.
                       people submit them
19:54   stonecrest >> and you can continue making any changes
                       to pacman during that process that don't
                       change strings.


So first, I would like to know the opinion of others (especially the 
existing translators) about this procedure.
And then, I tried to update the translation-help accordingly, but I am 
not sure how bad my changes are, so if others could also comment on that 
and suggest improvements, it would be great :)

Note : the patch is based on Dan's working branch since he converted 
translation-help to asciidoc there.
