We normally use the mailing list. As you are subscribed and I am too,
there is no need for personal addresses unless the message body is above
40kB [sic]. But if you attach a PO file (preferably archived), the
message to the list will be moderated and delayed by several days.

Thanks!   :)

Please clone the repo (assuming your SSH key works), and commit your
updated PO. If you can't do it yet, please send the PO as an attachment
(CC'ing me -- see above).

You can also generate the HTML with make, and commit it:

    $ make -f Makefile.gen LANG=pt-br

Your translation will be visible at https://enc-dev0.fsf.org/pt-br/

The images are in the static/ directory.

Portuguese, version 3:
    static/img/pt-br/
    static/svg/pt-br/

English, version 5:
    static/img/en/
    static/svg/en/

You will notice that the screenshots haven't been translated. Few of
them are reusable anyway, and there are a lot more in version 5.
They don't need to be translated now. If you wish to translate them
later, you will probably need to create a fake email account, and
run the actual gpg commands.

Please note that several images have been renamed.

edward_messages.txt also needs to be updated. This file is in
    old/pt-br/emailselfdefense_source.zip
with the English version in
    en/emailselfdefense_source.zip

(Yes, this repo is a real mess!)


> Finally, are the problems fixed with the Git repo?

Yes, as far as I can tell. But you should make sure your SSH key works.
Crossing fingers.
