+TMGMT Local Translator
+----------------------
+
+A user interface to execute the actual translation of TMGMT source elements.
+Includes management capabilities for handling translations and users.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+Local Translator is a translation plugin for TMGMT and is included in TMGMT core.
+
+Basic Concepts
+--------------
+
+Acts as a translator plugin for TMGMT. Can be used to do manual local
+translation. In addition it offers some management capabilities to handle the
+assignment of jobs to users.
+
+The local translator adds two permissions:
+
+- Provide translation services
+
+  The user can assign jobs to himself (assuming he has the right skills) and
+  execute the translation. Adds a 'Translate' link to the Navigation menu.
+
+- Administer translation tasks
+
+  Assign jobs to other users for translation. Adds a 'Manage Translate Tasks'
+  to the Navigation menu.
+
+
+Getting started
+---------------
+
+In TMGMT, a translation job can be sent to the local translator. In the checkout
+settings, the plugin offers the possibility to assign the job to a specific user.
+Only users with the required language skills are listed at this moment. If no
+person is selected, the job will be moved to the 'unassigned' task list for later
+treatment.
+
+Following the 'Translate' link in the Navigation menu, the user finds a listing
+of the tasks assigned to him as well as eligible tasks to assign to himself,
+depending on his skills. Assigned tasks will show a 'translate' link in the
+action column. Follow it to get a list of the task items to be translated.
+Choose to translate one item to get to the actual translation page.
+
+It lists two panes for each data item contained in the task item. One showing
+the text in the original language. The second one for writing in the translation.
+Each line sports a check button to its right. Once the translation is done, the
+data item can be checked off as complete. This check is purely informational
+and has no functional consequences.
+
+A translation task item can be saved at any time for later rework. It will show
+up as pending or translated depending on the state of the check mark for each
+item.
+
+Once the data items are all translated, the 'Save as completed' button will
+finalize the task and send it back to TMGMT core for further processing. Please
+note: Completing a task item is independent of the state of the checkboxes.
