 == Localization templates ==
+<code>po</code> localizations are often started based on a <code>po</code> template or <code>pot</code> file. These templates are simply <code>po</code files with all blank <code>msgstr</code>'s.
+Ubiquity includes a handy localization template tool to create these initial templates for you. Just go to the Ubiquity command list, and click on the "get localization template" link next to a command feed. If no such link is showing up, it means that that feed was not bundled with Ubiquity and thus does not currently support localization.
+You can also get many of the <code>pot</code> files pre-generated from the Ubiquity hg repository. If you already [[Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.1_Development_Tutorial|get your Ubiquity from the source]], you'll find the templates in <code>ubiquity/localization/templates</code>. Else, you can get them [https://ubiquity.mozilla.com/hg/ubiquity-firefox/file/tip/ubiquity/localization/templates from our hg server].
+When you start working on a localization, make sure to add your contact and credit information to the header. Each Ubiquity <code>po</code> file begins with a header that looks like this:
+  # social.po
+  #
+  # Localizers:
+  # Masahiko Imanaka <chimantaea_mirabilis@yahoo.co.jp>
+This is from the Japanese <code>po</code> file for <code>social.js</code>, <code>social.po</code>. You'll see a line called "Localizers:". Add a new line (or replace the dummy line) below that and add your name, followed by your email address in <braces>.
