+This directory contains the rules to convert Gamebook XML files to the
+Gettext (PO files) so that they can be translated using standard translator's
+tools (such as GNU gettext tools and those available in the translate toolkit at
+https://toolkit.translatehouse.org/download.html)
+
+
+The files included in this directory are:
+
+    - gamebook.its: the rule file to create the XML based on the Internationalization Tag Set standard (ITS, https://www.w3.org/TR/its20/).
+    
+    - gamebook.loc: the locating rule that associates its with XML
+
+For more information see: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Preparing-ITS-Rules
+
+To convert to/from PO the 'itstool' program is used (see http://itstool.org/)
+
+These rules are provided in order to simplify:
+
+ - The creation of new translations of books which are part of Project Aon
+ - The update of existing translations of books 
+ - To make it possible for translators to keep a glossary of translators,
+   simplifying the creation of new translations
+
+
+More information about the gettext format is available in https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html
