+
+  Please read the following information
+  before you start a new translation. Thank you :)
+
+IMPORTANT: Please see i18n status first at
+           http://kshutdown.sourceforge.net
+
+Use UTF-8 encoding.
+Make sure that KBabel or KWrite is configured properly.
+
+More stuff to translate:
+- *.desktop files
+- hidden ".directory" files ("extras" directory)
+- "eventsrc" file ("sounds" directory)
+
+HTML tags used in some strings:
+<b>text</b> - bold text
+<i>text</i> - italic text
+<br> - new line (similar to \n)
+
+Do not put "&" (keyboard shortcut)
+if you don't see this in an original message.
+KDE 3.4 will automatically insert missing "&" into all widgets.
+
+Don't translate messages from "*.moc.cpp" files (e.g. "MStatsTab").
+These messages are generated by the Qt Meta Object Compiler,
+and are not visible in KShutDown.
+
+To extract and merge messages run
+the following command from the top source directory:
+$ WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" make package-messages
+This will update *.pot template and all *.po translation files.
