Have a look to fr.po in order to guess how things work. In fact, I open 
it under emacs and navigate the docs in order to give the right meaning.

Act just as you did for the website.

Nodes, sections and subsections' name will appear in German, but not 
their content once you link to them. Check the user manual : it is like 
the site. Translated pages have a footer indicating they are available 
in other languages, as those which have not yet been translated do not 
have it.

Hope it will help!
