Welcome aboard and thanks a whole lot for volunteering!

As you probably noticed, the GPG guide is at version 5. It was first
published in 2014, and was translated to Brazilian Portuguese up to
version 3. The 2 versions are vastly different, but you may be able to
use a few paragaphs of the old translation.


*Workflow*

The translation guidelines are on 2 pages of LibrePlanet.
* Description of the workflow:
    https://libreplanet.org/wiki/GPG_guide/Translation_Guide
* Technical details for using the Git repositories:
    https://libreplanet.org/wiki/GPG_guide/Repository_and_Publishing

These pages need updating. I will do it next week.

The English version of ESD is here:
     https://enc-dev0.fsf.org/en/

and the old pt-br translation is here:
     https://enc-dev0.fsf.org/old/pt-br/

All the translatable text in the 5 pages of ESD is in a single PO file:
     https://enc-dev0.fsf.org/esd-pt-br.po

You are encouraged to translate this file rather than the HTML.


*Proofreading*

When you are done translating, you will need to find someone to
proofread your translation. Do you know anyone who would be willing to
do it? If you don't, and your language variant is pt-BR, we could try
to contact the translator of version 3.


*Issue with the Git repo*

Some of the POs in enc-dev0.fsf.org, including esd-pt-br.po, haven't
been merged with the latest changes, and I am currently unable to push
my own version (which has been merged). I can't clone the repo either or
even pull from it. The FSF sysadmins are informed, and I hope they fix
the issue soon. In the meantime, we'll need to use the mailing list. If
you are not subscribed yet, the page to do it is here:
     http://lists.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/esd-translators

The current version of esd-pt-br.po is attached.


Feel free to ask any questions you might have -- and I'm sure you have
plenty! :-)

All the best,
Thérèse
