Translations

Two translation files for each language are needed, ssr-[locale].po and [locale].pb (i.e. ssr-de.po and de.po).

Translation files can be created out of the templates template.pot and template-ssr.pot. They are standard GNU gettext files and can be edited in any ordinary texteditor or po-Editor.

All translated languages get an own chat channel that just people who use this language can access.

If a language code differs from the country code of a wanted flag, it can be defined in the ssr filename, like ssr-en-gb.po would be the english language, with the flag of Great Britain.
