 Zammad text modules are automatically imported when the first admin user is created, according to this user's language.
 This is just meant to provide for a smooth start with some existing helpful text modules. They can be modified later on;
 no subsequent import from the example files will be performed.
 
 Feel free to send pull requests to add more helpful examples to existing files or even files for new languages.

+## Zammad Chat - `public/assets/chat`
+
+The Zammad chat currently has its own build pipeline and also a custom translation handling.
+Messages and translations are directly baked into [chat.coffee](../public/assets/chat/chat.coffee) and have to be maintained
+there.
+
+## Zammad Notification Templates - `app/views/mailer/*`
+
+Zammad contains a number of different notification templates which are currently stored directly in language-specific `ERB`
+template files. Modifications of existing or addition of new translations must be made in these files directly.
+
+# Developer Workflows
+
+## Weblate Process Overview
+
+- The codebase has a translation catalog file [i18n/zammad.pot](zammad.pot), which must be kept up-to-date.
+- Weblate automatically picks this file up from git and updates its database. Now translators see the new/changed strings and can work on them.
+- From time to time, Weblate pushes the new/updated translations via merge request to git.
+- After the merge, the translation files in `i18n/zammad.*.po` are updated.
+- Zammad will pick them up as soon as `Translation.sync` gets called, which happens for example during a package update.
+
+## Updating the Source String Catalog
+
+If changes to translatable strings are made during the development process, developers can just run the following to
+re-extract the strings to the catalog file:
+
+`rails generate translation_catalog`
+
+This will update the `i18n/zammad.pot` file in Zammad. To do this for an existing addon module, call
+
+`rails generate translation_catalog --addon-path /path/to/addon`
+
+## Testing Translation Changes from Weblate
+
+To test any changes made to translations in Weblate that are not yet published to Zammad,
+you can use this workflow:
+
+- Download the current state of the language from Weblate as po file.
+- Save it locally in the Zammad folder as `i18n/zammad.pt-br.po` (for `pt-br` in this case, use corresponding file names for other languages).
+- Run `rails r Translation.sync` to import the latest state to the database.
+- Now the changes should appear in the GUI.
+
+## Known Issues With Localization
+
+- There is currently no support for plural forms.
