+For some reasons usual conversion scripts for .lang files from Translate Toolkit
+do not work as expected.
+
+Nevertheless, the attached script may be useful for those who want to
+organize sustainable translation process of web pages translation.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+Installed python-polib package:
+
+# urpmi python-polib
+
+I langpo.py:
+
+Usage:
+
+1. Copy the script into the folder with English .lang files.
+2. Run
+  python langpo.py
+3. Script will create .pot's for all .lang's in the folder. Translate pot's and
+   rename the translations into <lang_code>.po
+4. Run
+  python langpo.py
+   once more to create lang's for your language.
+
+If you ever need to update something (.lang's were updated or you found a typo,
+etc.) just run
+  python langpo.py
+
+Limitations:
+The script is useful only for Unicode translations.
+
+II translated_converter.py is a one-time converter for existing
+translations.
+
+Run it as
+
+python translated_converter.py -l <lang_code>
+
+(Ex.: python translated_converter.py -l el)
+
+in a folder of translations. Then copy po's with their folders into /en folder
+and run
+
+python langpo.py
