+Translation
+===========
+
+.. _searx@transifex: https://www.transifex.com/asciimoo/searx/
+
+Translation currently takes place on `searx@transifex`_
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+* Transifex account
+* Installed CLI tool of Transifex
+
+Init Transifex project
+======================
+
+After installing ``transifex`` using pip, run the following command to
+initialize the project.
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+   tx init # Transifex instance: https://www.transifex.com/asciimoo/searx/
+
+
+After ``$HOME/.transifexrc`` is created, get a Transifex API key and insert it
+into the configuration file.
+
+Create a configuration file for ``tx`` named ``$HOME/.tx/config``.
+
+.. code:: ini
+
+    [main]
+    host = https://www.transifex.com
+    [searx.messagespo]
+    file_filter = searx/translations/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po
+    source_file = messages.pot
+    source_lang = en
+    type = PO
+
+
+Then run ``tx set``:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    tx set --auto-local -r searx.messagespo 'searx/translations/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po' \
+    --source-lang en --type PO --source-file messages.pot --execute
+
+
+Update translations
+===================
+
+To retrieve the latest translations, pull it from Transifex.
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+   tx pull -a
+
+Then check the new languages.  If strings translated are not enough, delete those
+folders, because those should not be compiled.  Call the command below to compile
+the ``.po`` files.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   pybabel compile -d searx/translations
+
+
+After the compilation is finished commit the ``.po`` and ``.mo`` files and
+create a PR.
