+# Apache OpenOffice Translation Repository
+## Overview
+The apache/openoffice-translation repository is dedicated to managing
translations for Apache OpenOffice.
+This is part of a semi automatic process to deploy translations from the
translation website into the application repository.
+The Files presented here are useable for Apache OpenOffice trunk (and 4.2.0)
+# Repository Structure.
+The repository contains several key directories organized for translation
workflow:
+## Main Directories:
+ PO-Files - Contains Portable Object files, which are standard translation
file formats used in localization
+ PotFiles-HELP - Houses template files for help content translation,
specifically under helpcontent2/source/text
+ PotFiles-UI - Stores user interface translation templates
+ SDF-Files - Contains SDF (String Definition Files) used in the OpenOffice
translation process
+## Key Files:
+ en-US.sdf - The English (United States) source string definition file
+# Project Governance
+This project operates under the Apache Software Foundation guidelines and
follows the ASF Code of Conduct. The repository maintains strict community
standards, with clear reporting guidelines for any conduct violations.
+# Purpose & Significance
+This repository serves as the central hub for:
+ - Coordinating multilingual translations of Apache OpenOffice
+ - Managing translation files in standardized formats (PO/POT files)
+ - Maintaining source strings and translated content
+ - Enabling collaboration among international translation contributors via
translation hub https://translate.apache.org/projects/aoo40/
+For more information about Apache OpenOffice itself, you can visit the
official website at openoffice.apache.org.
