+# Translations
+
+At this stage in its development, iD is using an extremely minimal, simple
+system for translations. This directory contains languages according to
+code (de: German, fr: French, etc).
+
+To contribute:
+
+If you're technically-minded, clone this repository and edit the necessary
+file, and you can preview your changes in-place if your system language is
+set. Check out [the contributing guide for submitting changes](https://github.com/systemed/iD/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+If you aren't, you can still contribute! You'll still need a GitHub account, but
+you can just browse to your language's file here,
+click 'Edit', and edit each translated string.
+
+Contributions to translations are under the same liberal
+license as iD itself, [wtfpl](http://www.wtfpl.net/).
