Using the poedit tool [1], or anyother, the PO gettext files to translate are:

    messages.po
    database.po
    nationalities.po

 [1] http://www.poedit.net/


For the below PO edit files we will use the ones supplied by the iso-codes 
package [2] with some modifications.  I will do this sub-task, the iso_*.po

    iso_3166.po
    iso_4217.po
    iso_639.po

There are already almost complete translations for:

    * Spanish
    * Italian
    * Portuguese
    * Russian
    * French
    * German

To translate to Polish, you can use as template the English-to-Russian, 
English-to-Italian or ..., Or I can work out for you English-to-empty files.

Advantage of using double language as template instead of English-to-empty:

  * Say you understand more or less Russian,
    having a second language in the file you are translating help you
    to do the right translation, due to you will have double information
    about what each sentence means.


Example of English-to-German file:

    msgid "Log in unsuccessful!"
    msgstr "Log-in fehlgeschlagen!"


Example of English-to-empty template file:

    msgid "Log in successful!"
    msgstr ""



How do you think we should share the tasks (files translate) and the $50 USD ?

We could split it by number of 'msgid' to translate?

Do you think it would be better if the translation is done by only one person?
