Great!

Follow these steps:

1. Using poEdit, compile your translation into an "audacity.mo" file.

2. Save the compiled MO file in a folder called "eu", in Audacity's
   "Languages" folder.  For example, on Windows this is usually at:
   C:\Program Files\Audacity\Languages

3. Open Audacity and go to the Preferences window.  In the "Interface"
   section, set the language to "Basque".  (We can change this to say
   "Euskara" in future versions.)
