Move README for translators to the top level dir, now that we have specific

ChangeLog per translation unit subdir, also it gets more visible.

+Translators, when adding/updating your translation files, please follow
+the following rules:
+
+* Update debian/changelog and one of po/ChangeLog, dselect/po/ChangeLog or
+  man/ChangeLog:
+
+  - Beware the you should NOT update the main ChangeLog file
+    for translation updates. Use the ChangeLog in the relevant
+    subdirectory instead.
+
+  - The format of entries in the subdirectories' ChangeLog is strict:
+
+==========================================================
+2006-02-11  Christian Perrier  <bubulle@debian.org>
+
+       * fr.po: Updated to 1011t.
+==========================================================
+
+    Note the date format AND the DOUBLE SPACE between the date end the
+    translator's email address.
+
+    Note also the TAB character before the entry. NOT multiple spaces.
+
+    Also note that the update should mention the file statistics as
+    XXXtYYYfZZZu.
+
+    "XXXt" means "XXX translated strings".
+    "YYYf" means "YYY fuzzy strings strings".
+    "ZZZt" means "ZZZ translated strings".
+    YYY or ZZZ may be omitted if they are null.
+
+    This file contents MUST be encoded in UTF-8.
+
+* Format of entries in debian/changelog:
+
+  Translation updates should go in a dedicated "[ Updated Translations ]"
+  section:
+
+==========================================================
+dpkg (1.13.15) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  .../...
+
+  [ Updated Translations ]
+  * Catalan (Jordi Mallach).
+  * Portuguese (Miguel Figueiredo).
+  * Swedish (Daniel Nylander).
+==========================================================
+
+  New translations should go in a dedicated section named
+  "[ New Translations ]":
+
+==========================================================
+dpkg (1.13.15) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  .../...
+
+  [ New Translations ]
+  * Vogon (Douglas Adams).
+==========================================================
+
+  This file contents MUST be encoded in UTF-8
+
+* Use of po/LINGUAS or dselect/po/LINGUAS:
+
+  When ADDING a new translation, don't forget adding the language to
+  the LINGUAS file, otherwise it will not be used.
+
+* Always CHECK your translations:
+
+  You MUST check your PO files for validity.
+
+  The correct syntax for doing so is:
+
+  $ msgmerge -U <file> dpkg.pot
+  $ msgfmt -c -o /dev/null --statistics <file>
+  $ msgcat <file> >/dev/null
+
+  - msgmerge updates your file with the current POT file.
+  - msgfmt checks it for validity.
+  - msgcat may detect encoding problems.
