Translation

Prepare yourself for a lot of suffering:

warn the i18n coordinator in advance
copy translation to stable-kde4 (use the koffice-release.rb scripts in kde-common)
update scripty for stable translations (edit scripts/get_paths change the get_path function, and check that list_modules contains koffice)
check that stable-kde4/doocumentation has an external on the koffice's branch documentation
announce it to translators (CCMAIL:[email protected])

Website update

Preparation:

announcements/changelog-#{version}.php
announcements/announce-#{version}.php
releases/#{version}-release.php
release notes translation:

* send the release notes a few days before release to kde-i18n-doc at kde.org
* complete the page "announcements/announce-#{version}.php" with link to the translation that are usually hosted on KDE i18n local team websites
