Well, the rest is self-explaining, if you are logged in and have
editing rights, you will see a translate tab. Make sure you do
translate the correct language :)

Fro translation of terms specific to Amarok,
http://en.de.open-tran.eu/ (link for English-German, but there are
other languages of course) is of great help, as consistency matters a
lot, even if the German translation of Amarok is sometimes a tad
"old-fashioned". To have an influence on this, one would need to get
into translating the actual software and get in touch with the German
translators on kde-i18n-de at kde.org. This is btw a good idea as well,
as the German translation of Amarok could need some love, too :)


Regards, Myriam.

PS. it's usually a good idea to add your translator credits in the
editor's log message on the website, since translating is as much a
creative work as is the actual writing. Please ping me or somebody on
#amarok.de for proofreading when you are done with a translation, my
nick is Mamarok.
