+I18n/l10n
+---------
+
+Geany-Plugins is supporting localisation of your plugin. To make 
+usage of it, there needs to be done:
+
+ * Mark each string which should be translatable with the gettext macro 
+   ``_()`` or ``N_()`` for static strings. As an example the string 
+   ``"Hello World"`` might become ``_("Hello World")``.
+ * Add files with translateable strings into ``po/POTFILES.in``. You 
+   should group them for your plugin as done for the other. Each files 
+   needs to be put into one line with complete relative	 path from 
+   plugin root directory. E.g. ``myplugin/src/myplugin.c``
