+==== Using Transifex ====
+
+The web-based collaborative site for translations Transifex has
+a [http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/trac/c/default/ project page for Trac].
+
+From there, it is easy to download an always up to date `messages.po` file
+and start translating right away.
+
+Your translation can then be uploaded and will for now be sent back 
+to us by mail, but in the future they will be directly committed
+in a dedicated i18n repository clone of Trac.
+
+It is important however to keep the messages.po files free from
+fatal errors as reported by `msgfmt --check`, as this might confuse
+Transifex and prevent it to report correct statistics or merge the
+messages.pot.

 ==== The easy way using `make` and l10n targets ====
