 Large changes should have a test plan, and should be tested by somebody other
 than the developer who wrote the code.
 See https://github.com/bitcoin/QA/ for how to create a test plan.

+Translations
+------------
+
+Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to
+[Bitcoin Core's Transifex page](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/).
+
+Periodically the translations are pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the
+[translation process](doc/translation_process.md) for details on how this works.
+
+**Important**: We do not accept translation changes as github pull request because the next
+pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
