[core] IMP in Occitan

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

[I'm cc'ing this to the IMP list as it contains information that should be 
helpful to other people interested in providing translations for IMP 2.3/2.4, 
and other Horde apps.]

Quoting m.vdb@free.fr:

Great! Apologies for taking so long to get back to you.

It's pretty simple. If you checkout the latest IMP/Horde sources from CVS 
(http://www.horde.org/source/), you'll find a po/ directory inside IMP. In 
there, there's a README file which describes the process. If you have any 
questions about the contents of the readme, just let me know - it's a little 
old, but it looks pretty much correct.

> - where to find the sources

If I didn't answer this question above, just let me know which sources you mean.

Nope, vi is fine.

Send them either to dev@lists.horde.org (preferred, but you'll need to be 
subscribed to the list), or core@horde.org.

> - and so on !

Let me know if you have any other questions! And anyone else with questions 
about translations for 2.3, speak up. I can't promise that the strings are 
quite stabilized just yet, but we're nearly there.
