<h3 id="tips-for-translators">Tips for translators</h3>
+<p>If you are a new translator, you can find the following tips helpful.
+Please ask on the
+<a
href="http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#localization-mailing-list";>ooo-L10n
list</a>
+if you have any questions.</p>
+<ol>
+<li>
+<p>Do not translate the file <tt>basic/source/app.po</tt>; these strings belong
+to an outdated tool (TestTool) no longer distributed with OpenOffice. Ignore
that
+file and return it exactly as you received it.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>When you save a file in POEdit, you may receive the error "Header Field
+Project-Id-Version still has the initial default value"; you can safely ignore
it;
+that field is not used in the current localization process.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Some strings contain a "~", like "All ~Pages"; these are meant for keyboard
+accelerators; you should ignore the "~" in newly translated strings: OpenOffice
+will automatically assign an accelerator to commands.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>If you are a team, or you plan to have someone else review your changes,
+please note that PO files do not have a way to mark a translation as "to be
+reviewed". Most teams who want to review translated file before submitting them
+agree to mark new and modified translations as "Fuzzy" in Pootle, so that
+reviewers can immediately see what has changed and "unfuzzy" those strings
+after verifying that the translation is correct.</p>
