https://www.cups.org/doc/translation.html says:

After you have translated all of the templates, add the locale to the LANGUAGES variable in the Makedefs file

But https://github.com/apple/cups/blob/master/Makedefs.in#L78 says:

LANGUAGES = @LANGUAGES@

So maybe that text does not apply anymore and should be deleted if it is not necessary for the translators to add a locale to LANGUAGES.

Maybe change the "www.cups.org" to "Software":

Start by downloading the CUPS source code from www.cups.org.
Start by downloading the CUPS source code from Software.

Maybe also add link to GitHub or add it to the Software page.

@scootergrisen So the "LANGUAGES" value in Makedefs gets set by the configure script, which looks for localizations and (by default) tries to install all that exist. If you are just testing things out you can edit the Makedefs file (not Makedefs.in) to affect the currently configured sources.

As for changing www.cups.org to Software, I'd rather not. The location of the sources has changed over the years and the best place to grab the current sources is from the CUPS home page (www.cups.org). I can add a mention of the Github repository, but again we have a link on the home page and that has also changed over the years...

I will keep this bug open to track updates to the translation page, including Issue #5498.

Having a link called www.cups.org sounds to me like i can expect to visit http://www.cups.org/ the index page.

Also add some examples of localizing the HTML templates (what to localize and
what to leave alone...)
