 Anyway. The important thing is this:
-<blockquote>if you see something that doesn't look like a real word (like ''&brandShortName;'' or ''%d'' or ''%s'') and maybe has no spaces or maybe has some funny  <> around it, usually you should not translate this but re-use it in your translation without changing it</blockquote>

 So in the case of my language, this means that this:
-<blockquote>There is not enough space available for &brandShortName; to start.</blockquote>
+<blockquote>''There is not enough space available for &brandShortName; to start.''</blockquote>
 becomes
-<blockquote>Chan eil àite gu leòr is chan urrainn dha &brandShortName; tòiseachadh.</blockquote>

 Of course, when someone is using the program (for example Firefox) later on, they will see

	That's it.		That's it.

		+	==Placeholders==
		+	Well... almost. One thing you will almost certainly see are ''placeholders''. They are abbreviations which stand for some other bit of text or a number. The very first string on Firefox for Android has such a placeholder, the ''&brandShortName;'' bit:
		+
		+	[[Faidhle:pootle04.png\|border]]
		+
		+	In the finished product, people won't see this ''&brandShortName;'' but they will see a different word in its place, for example ''Mozilla Firefox'' or ''Baxter's Chicken Soup''.

-Select a project, for example Firefox for Android, by clicking on it. Almost always, the easiest way to get started is to use the ''Continue translation'' link. This automatically selects the next (or the next most important) phrase to translate.
