Introduction to translation

Dear all,

I recently joined of the trans team here and was wondering where to find
a good overview or guide on how translation actually works.
Specifically, I am confused about the different file extensions,
probably also about the file formats. When I do something in zanata, I
have the possibility to download the translation as .po. In
/usr/share/locale/<locale>/LC_MESSAGES/ I do find a few .mo files. And
somewhere I read something about .pot.

Any hint for some introduction that I obviously need to get started.

Thanks
Florian
