:Note, it may not be not absolutely essential that the localization is hosted on the Sugar Labs / OLPC Pootle instance [http://translate.sugarlabs.org/].  By way of example, see a number projects listed [[Translation_Team/Pootle_Projects#Other_projects_of_interest_.28not_locally_hosted.29|here]], including GCompris and TuxPaint where localization is handled elsewhere. It may be more of a build-process issue than an L10n issue to pull the PO files from these other sites.  Requiring dual hosting of L10n doesn't sound like a win.[[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 17:04, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

'''Instructions:''' I can't find clear step-by-step instructions on how to get one's Activity into Pootle - can anyone else help find (or create) them?

: There are really only minimal instructions in the FAQ [[Translation_Team/FAQ#How_do_I_add_a_project_to_be_translated_.3F|here]], there is no question that we could use some improvement to our Translation Team documentation, including a better "Developer's Guide" entry point.
