+    contribute translations online using their web browser. A project may have
+    many files that can be translated. In transifex, these files are called
+    resources. Transifex lists all sentences or phrases (called "strings") used

     individual sentences or phrases as they are able.

-    You can check the status of all translations for a given project by visiting
-    each project page.  The following statuses are updated in real time when new

     <p>
-    Shortly after you see this text an email will be sent to the email address you
-    provided. The email should look something like the following:
-    </p><pre>
-    A Pootle account has been created for you using this email address.
-    Your activation code is:
-    36074ec543c1fa23ceeaf8e187dfa43e
-    This message is sent to verify that the email address is in fact correct. If
-    you did not want to register an account, you may simply ignore the message.
-    Your user name is: example_user
-    Your password is: example_user
-    Your registered email address is: username@xxxxxxxxxxx
-    </pre>
-    
-    <p>
-    Once you've received the email, you'll need to activate your account by
-    visiting the <a
-    href="https://translation.torproject.org/activate.html";>activation page</a>.
-    Enter your username and activation code into the form and then submit the form
-    by pressing the "Activate Account" button.
-    
-    You'll see a message that says:
-    </p><pre>
-    Redirecting to login Page...
-    Your account has been activated! Redirecting to login...
-    </pre>
-    
-    <p>
-    When you login to your new account, you'll be prompted to configure your basic
-    language preferences on the <a
-    href="https://translation.torproject.org/home/options.html";>options page</a>. At
-    the very least, you'll want to select the user interface language, select any
-    of the projects you're interested in translating, and additionally the languages
-    you wish to translate. Save your changes by clicking the "Save Changes" button
-    when you're finished.
+    Transifex supports automatic translations using the Google Translate API
+    (which currently supports 50-something languages). If the language you are
+    working on is supported by the Google Translate API, you will see a yellow
+    lightning bolt on the left side of the text field (on mouseover).
     </p>
     
     <p>
-    You're ready to translate!
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>
-    At this point, you can select a project, such as <a
-    href="https://translation.torproject.org/projects/vidalia/";>Vidalia</a>. You'll
-    see a nice list of all of the currently supported languages along with the
-    current translation progress. Select a language &mdash; in our example,
-    you'll click
-    <a href="https://translation.torproject.org/de/vidalia/";>German</a>. The next
-    page should show you a single row of data for the file "<a
-    href='https://translation.torproject.org/de/vidalia/vidalia_de.po?translate=1&amp;view=1'>vidalia_de.po</a>".
-    This is the file with all of the currently translated German strings for
-    Vidalia. You should click on the "<a
-    href='https://translation.torproject.org/de/vidalia/index.html?editing=1'>Show
-    Editing Functions</a>" link above the 'vidalia_de.po' row. Next you should
-    click the "<a
-    href='https://translation.torproject.org/de/vidalia/translate.html?fuzzy=1&amp;editing=1&amp;blank=1'>Quick
-    Translate</a>" link. This will take you to the first untranslated string in the
-    language group for the current project.
-    </p>

-    <p>
-    If you're able, please translate the string you see and click the 'Submit'
-    button. If you're unsure, click the 'Suggest' button. Feel free to leave
+    If you're able, please translate the strings you see and click the 'Save All'
+    button at the bottom of the page. If you're unsure, click the 'Suggestions'
+    button (visible when you move the mouse over the text area). Feel free to leave
     comments for any of the translations if you feel it's important to clarify
     anything.
     </p>
     
     <p>
-    When you're finished, you need to commit your changes. Return to the
-    page with the <a
-    href="https://translation.torproject.org/de/vidalia/index.html?editing=1";>Editing
-    Functions</a>, and click on the "<a
-    href='https://translation.torproject.org/de/vidalia/index.html?editing=1&amp;docommit=1&amp;commitfile=vidalia_de.po'>Commit</a>"
-    link. This will commit your changes into the <a
-    href="https://svn.torproject.org/svn/translation/trunk/projects/vidalia/de/";>Translation
-    subversion module</a> in the specific area as specified by your choices of
-    language and project (Vidalia and German, for this example).
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>
-    That's all there is to it! Be sure to go through the steps again and
-    contribute to Torbutton and Torcheck too.
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>
-    If your language isn't in the list of options yet, send mail to
-    <tt>tor-translation AT torproject.org</tt> and we'll add it for you.

-

     For more advanced users who like to translate without a web browser, you can
-    also download the .po file directly. You'll find this option after clicking on
-    the "<a
-    href='https://translation.torproject.org/de/vidalia/index.html?editing=1'>Show
-    Editing Functions</a>" link. You should see a link to download the "<a
-    href="https://translation.torproject.org/de/vidalia/vidalia_de.po";>PO file</a>".
-    If this option fits your working habits, by all means, please use it!
-    You may find a program called <a href="http://www.poedit.net/";>Poedit</a>
-    to make the job easier, especially for right-to-left languages that don't
-    work as well in text editors. If you're using Poedit, you should disable
-    compiling .mo files in Poedit's preferences (File -&gt; Preferences -&gt;
-    Editor -&gt; Behavior, uncheck "Automatically compile .mo file on save").
-    When you're finished translating the .po file, you can upload it by
-    using the "upload file" form in the upper right hand corner: simply
-    select the file and click the 'Upload file' button.
+    also download the .po file directly. You'll find this option after clicking
+    on a resource name and a language. If this option fits your working habits,
+    by all means, please use it! You may find a program called <a
