[mobile-devel] French translation

[Mario Bertrand]

Hi Martin,

Xiphos is part of the Sword project and they use both svn and Launchpad
for there translating project. I use this software on my Ubuntu desktop.

http://xiphos.org/development/translation-howto/

Have a look here, Dominique Corbex is using Launchpad for Xiphos french
translation... Maybe he can help to make the transition.
