Here I am gonna tell you how to translate Mailman to your language.
First of all you need the latest version from the CVS, because none of
the so far announced versions are capable of manage different languages.
You can download the latest version from CVS with eg. the following
command:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.mailman.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mailman co mailman
(this should be a single line, if not that is because the mail clients
wrap the long lines)
This creates a mailman/ directory in you current directory. If you want
to install this version, you need also the Mimelib 0.3 package and at
least Python 2.0.
You can find Mimelib here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mimelib/
Latest Python's home is at: http://www.python.org
Install mimelib as the readme says, and after that install Mailman with
the regular commands (eg. ./configure; make install)
So back to the translation.
You should translate two things, one is called templates. These files
you can found in the templates/ directory. These are basicly textfiles,
some of them are HTMLs, but you can edit them with your favourite texteditor.
You have to translate the English ones from the templates/en/ dir.
Translate all of these file and you will see that a lot of message will
appear in your own language, but some of them still be in English, this
is where the second thing comes in, the catalog.
You will find a message.pot in the mailman/messages/ directory. It contains
a lot of text from the code of Mailman. Make a copy of this file and start
translate it, keep in mind the following rules:
- your translation have to be in the msgstr line, you MUST NOT edit
the msgid line.
- there are certain words that you MUST NOT translate, this words
look something like this: %(...)s
You can change the place of this words in the line, but you shouldn't
modify them at all.
- do not translate the commands' names, eg. in the MailCommandHandler.py
file there are a lot of lines like this:
msgid "Usage: password [ ]"
Here 'password' is the command, everything else you can translate,
you can translate password every where else, where it is not
refered as a command. eg. in here:
msgid " (You can change your password there, too.)"
I think these things are the most important. If you a bit confused look
at the Spanish example in the mailman/messages/es/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po
If you want to test your translation read the README-I18.en
With your problems please contact to the mailman-i18n mailinglist,
I am sure someone will help you.
And finally when you done with the translation there are two persons
who can help you distribute the translation.
The Mailman i18n project-leader:
Juan Carlos Rey Anaya
And the main developer of Mailman:
Barry A. Warsaw
Good luck.

It probably needs to be updated too.

Subject: [Mailman-i18n] Messages in the latest message.pot
Message-ID: <20010618103705.A2846@freemail.hu>
Hello Everyone,
Does anybody have seen the latest messages.pot from CVS?
Last weekend I was trying to update my translation and I found a few
messages that I really do not know why contains the catalog?
Here is an example:
#. docstring
#: Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py:18
msgid ""
"Mixin class for putting new messages in the right place for archival.\n"
"\n"
"Public archives are separated from private ones. An external archival\n"
"mechanism (eg, pipermail) should be pointed to the right places, to do the\n"
"archival.\n"
I really do not know why should I translate this message? Almost every
'docstring' are needless.
And how can this be in the catalog, because those messages is not marked
anyway. They are starting with """ in the code , and not with the common
signes _( .
Barry what is your opinion about this?
And another question: What is the url for the web based remove list? I read
the messages in the catalog, but I could not find any url for that page?

You shouldn't.

Because I run pygettext with the -D option, it extract docstrings for
all modules, classes, methods, and functions. I do this because I
/do/ want the module docstrings for the bin/* scripts to be in the
catalog.
This is because those docstrings server double duty as the usage text
for --help, so they should be translated. They can't be wrapped with
_() because then Python wouldn't consider them docstrings. I really
should try to break the messages.file: rule in message/Makefile.in
into two, because the docstrings for the stuff not in bin/* cron/* or
scripts/* probably does not need to be extracted.

It should be http://yoursite/mailman/mylist/rmlist

Hello Translators,
In the newer version there are changes in the templates.
You are already know that admlogin.txt is now admlogin.html.
There is a new file in the template: article.html
You should update private.html, userpass.txt, verify.txt and
options.html translations because they are changed a bit/lot.
Options.html is changed a lot so you must be careful!
Bye,
