Needs translation instructions

[scootergrisen]

Are we not missing some instructions on how to translate Virtaal? The README file could have a Translation section telling translators which files can be transalted and how to submit updated translations/start new languages.

It is not in the readme, but it is reasonably well documented, I think: https://virtaal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/localising_virtaal.html

The instructions will need some updating:

• That Pootle server is not available any more, so we need to decide how we'll handle things from here on.
• I'm not sure what we'll do on Windows, so that needs to be figured out.

Say if more updates to it is required.

Maybe add a Contribute/Contribution section with Translation/Localising and link to https://virtaal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/localising_virtaal.html in the README file so its eaiser to find since GitHub shows that file on the front page of the project.

Many projects websites have a contribute page there there might be information about translating the project which seems to work fine.

If i go to http://virtaal.translatehouse.org/ it seems i have to visit Documentation to get to Virtaal documentation and then Localising Virtaal. But maybe it seems a little incorrect that i have to visit a link called Documentation if i want to know how to translate Virtaal because im used to that meaning Help for the software. Like articles on how to use the software for a user.

I guess it dont have to follow what some other project uses that im used to but when i translate so many projects to can to hard to figure out where the instructions was for each.
