I use phpslash-0.7.2 for a German speaking site.
Consequently I need a complete translation.
As far as I see, the procedure is as follows:

Once you find a string in a template you
1. create a entry in include/locale/en.php
2. put a translation in include/locale/de.php
3. make up a macro name
4. substitute the string with the macro name, across all themes
5. have a look for the template file name in *.php and add
   a pslgetText statement to "$template->set_var"

Of course the string can occur more than once in multiple
templates. In some languages the translation can be different,
according to context, though.

a) What directory should I diff against?
   phpslash-ft/public_html/templates/en
   or
   phpslash-dev/include/templates/en

b) Is there a system behind template macro names?

c) How should I handle different word order or higher
   macro levels? For example

   from the {DEPT} dept.

   is translated as

   Aus der Abteilung {DEPT}
