+# Nextcloud translation tool
+
+This tool is used to extract translatable texts from the source code and to create translation files that can be used by Nextcloud.
+
+## Generating PO files
+
+To extract the texts from the source code and create a pot file simply go to the folder of your app and run
+`php /path/to/translationhelper.phar create-pot-files`. Now the script will create a folder called *translationfiles* 
+and put the generated pot file in there. One pot file will be created for each app.
+
+You'll find the pot files in *translationfiles/templates/$app.pot*
+
+## Generating Nextcloud files
+
+Once you have the translated po files under *translationfiles/$lang/$app.po* you can create the js and json files used by Nextcloud.
+To do so run `php /path/to/translationhelper.phar convert-po-files`. The files are then put in the *l10n* folder of the apps.
