All of the above applies.  In addition, if you are adding a new
language, you need to add the locale to the po/LINGUAS file.  If you
want to work on an existing translation, you may want to get into touch
with the Last-Translator and/or Language-Team mentioned in the header of
the po/*.po file for your locale.

Hope this helps,
