Hi,

1. The initial data

sane-backends is translated using Gettext PO files. You can edit them manually 
(they are just plain text files) but it would be better to use specialized 
software. It can be Lokalize, poEdit, GTranslator, OmegaT or Virtaal.

To be synced with the current code you should pull whole sane-backends repo 
from gitlab:

https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends

Fork it, clone to your machine or just download the archive (if you are not 
planning to update the translation), then do

./configure
cd po
make update-po

Then either translate your locale's .po-file or rename sane-backends.pot into 
<your_locale>.po (if there is no <your_locale>.po in the current repo) and 
translate it from scratch.

If you have troubles with this procedure just send me a message and I send you 
the needed file back.

2. The results

Ready-to-use translation (do not forget to check is validity with "msgfmt -vc 
<your_locale>.po") can be submitted as gitlab merge request or added to the 
bug report on gitlab.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yuri
