+Internationalization
+====================
+
+Internationalization (a.k.a "Translation") 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 this documentation may be incorrect and is certainly incomplete.
+
+Who can Register
+----------------
+
+At this time, anyone can register an account at ``https://weblate.taler.net/`` to create translations. Registered users default to the **Users** and **Viewers** privilege level.
+
+About Privilege Levels
+----------------------
+
+This is the breakdown of privilege levels in Weblate:
+
+* **Users**/**Viewers** = Can log in, view Translations (*applies to new users*)
+
+* **Reviewers** = Can contribute Translations to existing *Components*
+
+* **Managers** = Can create new *Components* of existing *Projects*
+
+* **Superusers** = Can create new *Projects*
+
+Upgrading Privileges
+--------------------
+
+To upgrade from **Users**/**Viewers**, a superuser must manually augment your privileges. At this time, superusers are Christian, Florian, and Buck.
+
+How to Create a Translation
+---------------------------
+
+1 - Log into ``https://weblate.taler.net``
+
+2 - Navigate to *Projects* > *Browse all projects*
+
+3 - Choose the *project* you wish to contribute to.
+
+4 - Choose the *component* you wish to contribute to.
+
+5 - Find the language you want to translate into. Click "Translate" on that line.
+
+6 - Find a phrase and translate it.
+
+You may also wish to refer to ``https://docs.weblate.org/``.
+
+Translation Standards and Practices
+-----------------------------------
+
+By default, our Weblate instance is set to accept translations in English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
+
+If you want to contribute a translation in a different language, navigate to the *Component* you want to translate for, and click "Start new translation" to begin. If you require a privilege upgrade, please contact a superuser with your request.
+
+
+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.
