+This directory contains all the translations for the openstreetmap.org website.
+
+Do NOT edit any translations in here, please use TranslateWiki instead.
+
+The only file in this directory that should be edited by hand is en.yml, when
+localisation strings change or new translations are introduced. All other 
+languages _need_ to be edited using TranslateWiki. Please make sure that you 
+run the tests using *rake test* to make sure that there are no errors, as there 
+is at least one test that makes sure that all translations are valid (we'll
+makes sure that they won't cause the site to not work).

+There is more information about translating the website on the wiki at
