+Some notes for translators
+==========================
+
+There are three directories containing translations:
+
+ po/
+
+ Contains the phrases used in the tasksel program.
+
+ tasks/po/
+
+ Contain the phrases used in (a few of) the tasks themselves.
+
+ debian/po/
+
+ Contains the debconf templates.
+
+Your language should be listed in LANGS and LANGS_DESC variables
+in Makefile. (LANGS is for translations in po/, and LANGS_DESC
+is for translations in tasks/po/.)
+
+You should also translate the Descriptions of the task-* packages.
+These are shown to the user when tasksel runs, so are actually
+the most important thing to translate. This can be done via the
+The Debian Description Translation Project:
+<http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/ddtp>
+
+When translating the Descriptions, the ones that matter are those
+tasks that are displayed to the user. Translating the Descriptions
+of the language-specific tasks, which are not shown to the user,
+is not a priority.
