The main question I have is about the copyright line.
Many currently have top headers in this format.
# LANGUAGE translation of AbiWord.
# Copyright (C) 1999-2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
# This file is distributed under the same license as the Abiword package.
# AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR
# AUTHOR <EMAIL@ADDRESS>, YEAR
Some say
# Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
