   <p>In any case, translating nano is very easy. Just grab the <b>nano.pot</b> file from the latest and greatest nano distribution (it's in the <b>po/</b> directory) and translate each line into your native language on the <b>msgstr</b> line. When you're done, you should send it to the TP's central po repository.</p></blockquote>
