+# spree_i18n
+
+A ruby translation project managed on [Locale](http://www.localeapp.com/) that's open to all!
+
+## Contributing to spree_i18n
+
+- Edit the translations directly on the [spree_i18n](http://www.localeapp.com/projects/public?search=spree_i18n) project on Locale.
+- **That's it!**
+- The maintainer will then pull translations from the Locale project and push to Github.
+
+Happy translating!
+
+## Support Team
+
+First, make sure you have created the temporary directory used by the localeapp gem during pushes, etc.
+
+```
+mkdir -p .localeapp/locales
+```
+
+Next, if you're one of the community members with the necessary credentials to update the default locale file on localeapp.com then you can do so with the following command.
+
+```
+localeapp --api-key=YOURAPIKEYHERE push ../spree/core/config/locales/en.yml
+```
