    50 When creating the .po files, we strongly recommend using a specialized tool called poEdit  
    51 (http://www.poedit.net). This makes the translation process very easy. But a normal  
    52 text editor work fine if you prefer that (both vim and emacs are great for this, and have special  
    53 modes for PO files). poEdit exists for both Linux and Windows, and Mac OS X.

This makes the translation process very easy. poEdit exists for both Linux and Windows, and Mac OS X. When you open a .po file with PoEdit, you will see a list of translations in English and four boxes below. As you click on a line to highlight it, you will see that the top two boxes are for English and Default translations. Type your translation in the lower left box. Do not change the naming of the individual translation files. Just send them back when you are done (you may zip them up if you like).

    55 If you use a plain text editor instead of a dedicated tool, you should make sure you use utf-8  
    56 as your charset, even if your country usually uses iso-8859-* or similar. The reason for this is  
    57 that Plone uses a few characters (like the ellipsis) that don't have representations in other  
    58 charsets.
