+Development Notes
+=================
+
+Here we connect notes and howtos for development around Terminator. Feel free to extend or submit suggestions.
+
+## Translation i18n
+
+Tooling is based on [Babel](https://babel.pocoo.org), the configuration is stored in `babel.cfg`, `setup.cfg` and
+some code in `setup.py`.
+
+The POT file [po/terminator.pot](po/terminator.pot) contains the template for all translations and should be updated
+regularly, especially when messages changed inside the source code.
+
+```
+$ python setup.py extract_messages
+```
+
+Usually catalogs are updated with external translation tools, e.g. when new translations are merged. But we can update
+the catalogs here, so translators will have it more easy to pick up their work.
+This is a custom extension in `setup.py`.
+
+```
+$ python setup.py update_catalogs
+```
+
+Compilation of catalogs into the binary form, from `*.po` to `*.mo` is done during `setup.py build`, and the files are
+installed during `setup.py install`.

    The robot future of terminals

+  <p translatable="yes">
    A power-user tool for arranging terminals. It is inspired by programs such as
    gnome-multi-term, quadkonsole, etc. in that the main focus is arranging terminals
    in grids (tabs is the most common default method, which Terminator also supports).

+  <p translatable="yes">
    Much of the behavior of Terminator is based on GNOME Terminal, and we are adding
    more features from that as time goes by, but we also want to extend out in different
    directions with useful features for sysadmins and other users.
