+To use these files, you'll need to transform the .po files into the binary 
+GNU message catalog format. For every language that you enable in the 
+TorCheck whitelist, you'll need a corresponding message catalog.
+
+First you'll want to ensure that the gettext template is properly formatted:
+
+	msgfmt -c TorCheck_en.po
+
+You'll want to compile each TorCheck gettext template like so:
+
+	msgfmt -o TorCheck_en.mo  TorCheck_en.po
+
+Then you'll move the compiled message catalog into the proper locale 
+directory:
+
+	mv TorCheck_en.mo /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/TorCheck.mo
+
+Once you've done this for each locale TorCheck supports, messages will be 
+automatically translated.
