+Internationalization
+====================
+
+Translations and internationalization is handled with Weblate (https://weblate.org) via our instance at ``https://weblate.taler.net/``.
+
+At this time, this system is still very new for Taler.net and over time we intend to learn and document the following:
+
+Who can Register
+----------------
+
+At this time, anyone can register an account at ``https://weblate.taler.net/`` to create translations.
+
+Who can Create Projects
+-----------------------
+
+Creating a Weblate translation project is a power reserved for superusers.  At this time, Christian, Florian, and Buck have the ability to create projects.
+
+Who can Create Components
+-----------------------
+
+Weblate *projects* are subdivided into *components*.  At this time it is not clear what priviledges are necessary to create components.
+
+How to Create a Translation
+---------------------------
+
+More information will be forthcoming as we learn this new system.  Expert users are welcome to participate and contribute to our knowledge pool.
+
+GPG Signing of Translations
+---------------------------
+
+weblate.taler.net signs GPG commits with the GPG key CD33CE35801462FA5EB0B695F2664BF474BFE502, and the corresponding public key can be found at https://weblate.taler.net/keys/.
+
+This means that contributions made through weblate will not be signed with the individual contributor's key when they are checked into the Git repository, but with the weblate key.
