Hi Dirk, 

yes I know you prefer SVN, but SVN does not fit my needs. That's the reason why 
the plugin is on github. 

I read the readme file, but it's not very verbose.

So you don't want any other users to translate JOSM or it's plugins??

I think how to translate should not be related on where it is hosted. If it's 
easy to translate maybe more people would help to translate.

I found out how to generate the required files, but how do I edit them? I want 
my plugin to be as easy to use as possible and that includes localization. 
Shouldn't there be a guide for a plugin developer to translate their on plugin?

Read the readme in the i18n directory of the JOSM part of OSM repository (i.e. 
where the plugins are). You need the included perl script to generate lang 
files.

Actually we prefer the usage of our SVN infrastructure. That's why we don't 
document it more than necessary.
