+The last approach is perhaps the recommended one. It allows easily split
+internationalization/localization onto separate SCons scripts, where a script
+in source tree is responsible for translations (from sources to
+<literal>PO</literal> files) and script(s) under variant directories are
+responsible for compilation of <literal>PO</literal> to <literal>MO</literal>
+files to and for installation of <literal>MO</literal> files. The "gluing
+factor" synchronizing these two scripts is then the content of
+<filename>LINGUAS</filename> file. Note, that the updated
+<literal>POT</literal> and <literal>PO</literal> files are usually going to be
+committed back to the repository, so they must be updated within the source
+directory (and not in variant directories). Additionaly, the file listing of
+<filename>po/</filename> directory contains <filename>LINGUAS</filename> file,
+so the source tree looks familiar to translators, and they may work with the
+project in their usual way.
