+If you checked out this source tree directly from GRUB Git, you might be
+wondering where are the POT and PO files. Here are some instructions
+that will hopefully clarify the situation.
+
+ - If you're a user or a distributor, simply fill the po directory by
+ importing translations from the Translation Project:
+
+ ./linguas.sh
+
+ GRUB's build system will automatically detect those and include them
+ in your install.
+
+ - If you're a translator and want to add a new translation or improve an
+ existing one, get in touch with the Translation Project
+ (http://translationproject.org/). The GRUB project doesn't interact
+ with translators directly (but we dearly appreciate your work!).
+
+ - If you're a developer adding/removing/modifying translatable strings,
+ you can check that these turn into a sane POT file by using the
+ `po/grub.pot' make rule.
+
+ - If you're the maintainer of GNU GRUB preparing a new release, don't
+ forget to include the latest PO files in your source tarball!
