+I have a few questions about translating PO file:
+
+1. Assume I copied `ikiwiki.pot` file to `pl.po` file and translated it
+from English to Polish. How can I check that my `pl.po` file works good?
+I have some experience with building Debian packages, but I don't too much
+about working with PO files in Debian packages.
+
+2. I'll send you my translation when I finish it, of course. But what about
+updating my PO file? Should I send it to you for every ikiwiki issue?
+Maybe you should give write access to ikiwiki repository for translators
+of PO files?
+ 
+3. What is the best way to update my PO file when you do some changes in
+`ikiwiki.pot` file? Should I translate my PO file from scratch or
+can I do diff for old and new `ikiwiki.pot` file and update only differences?
+
+4. What about "gettexting" button titles and link names? Do you really
+think that there should be hardcoded in ikiwiki templates?
+
