Re: I would like to introduce myself!

Hi Marko!

Thanks for your answer.

I have downloaded the free version of „Poedit". 

I opened the file „de.po“, which I had downloaded from here:
http://files.freeciv.org/translations/S3_0/core/ <http://files.freeciv.org/translations/S3_0/core/>

Is that correct so far?

In Poedit, I can see the English texts on the left and the German texts on the right. I did a first test and translated three texts and saved the file.

You mentioned, that I could „test your translations in their natural habitat.“ How would I do that? Would I have to download the Freeciv code and somehow „join" it with the new translation? 

If these noobie questions are answered somewhere else, please point me to it! Sorry, I have never done that before.

Thanks!
