the developers can see it.]

Great!  Internationalization and lots of localizations are one of the 
Horde project's strengths and goals, so we love to see more locales get 
added.  Thanks for writing!

The easiest way to get started is to check out from CVS the most recent 
HEAD versions of Horde and the modules (IMP etc.).  Then work on your 
translation, and submit your changes to <dev@lists.horde.org> in the form 
of a unified context-diff (diff -u) ... i.e., patch(es).  Some of the 
translators have CVS commit privileges so you can ask about that too, if 
you would find it useful.

It's great to read the following, but we don't have any stringent 
requirements... just happy to have people that are willing to pitch in and 
help.  :-)  Oh, and we do have Horde mirror sites too; Jon can probably 
tell you more about that, if you want to become one.
