Hi,

There are several ways to reach the translated PA (from best to worst):

1. Follow the instructions on the GNOME page.

https://l10n.gnome.org/module/PulseAudio/

The source (POT) is automatically updated daily, direct link to the  
Bugzilla page, etc.

2. Clone PA git and use "make update-po" after "./configure" to create the  
POT, then use Bugzilla from your browser's bookmarks. Advantages: full  
control over the process, sources at hand to checkout the quality.

3. If you have a team (experienced translators, reviewers, managers, etc.)  
you can use Rosetta (Ubuntu's Launchpad, the latest Ubuntu distribution  
catalogue) to organize the appropriate workflow. Then Bugzilla, as usual...

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yuri
