		== Activity Developer ==

		Activity developers have an important role to play in preparing the software to be localized (internationalization or i18n).

		Suggested qualifications:
		- some familiarity with [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html GNU gettext].
		- some familiarity with the Sugar Labs git repository.

		== User:Pootle (in Sugar Labs git software repository) ==

		This is a special purpose user identity in git that acts as the committer of PO file changes to the software repository when a language administrator commits PO files from the Pootle server. Activity developers need to add user:pootle as a committer to their project in git so tha translated PO files can be committed by language admins.
