+# Working with man page translations
+
+## Add a new .po file
+
+To enable a new .po file, add its basename (in fact, the language code), to
+the first line of po4a.cfg:
+
+ [po4a_langs] de es fr pl uk
+
+It is not crucial to sort the entries alphabetically, but do it anyway for
+better readability.
+
+## Update the template and create translated files
+
+This is done in one step using the following simple command:
+
+ po4a po4a.cfg
+
+If there's something wrong with a .po file, the command will fail. In any case,
+have a look at the first line of po4a.cfg if all of the mentioned files are
+present.
+
+To the man page authors: Please don't forget to add your new man page to po4a.cfg!
