Excellent!

Well, the thing is that the result is not directly usable: a valid PO
file for our website has the original English in msgid, and the
translation in msgstr. So, we can't just drop your work onto our
website as is. Technically, someone would first have to copy each
translated string and paste it into the relevant field using their PO
editor. This is not very fun a task, so I believe the best way to make
sure your translations are promptly integrated would be to do this
copy'n'paste work yourself.

In the French translation, it's done this way:
msgid ""
"The OpenPGP [[!wikipedia Web_of_Trust desc=\"Web of Trust\"]] is a "
"decentralized trust model based on OpenPGP keys. Let's see that with an "
"example."
msgstr ""
"La [[!wikipedia_fr Toile_de_confiance desc=\"Toile de confiance\"]] OpenPGP "
"est un modèle de confiance décentralisé basé sur les clés OpenPGP. Voyons ça "
"avec un exemple."
Basically, the first argument in the [[!wikipedia]] thing is the name
of the target wikipedia web page, and the desc="" is the text of the
link as it will appear on our website.

I think we should add a placeholder, in the original English text, for
such links. Else, any attempt to add such useful links in the
translations only will be hackish and a pain to maintain on the
long run.

Thank you! I guess sajolida will be happy to read this, and take good
care of it :)
To end with, if you intend to go on sharing work with us, may
I suggest you subscribe to the tails-l10n mailing-list?
