First, you need a product for Gallery. I see that there is one already:

https://launchpad.net/products/gallery-2

Please, confirm that it's for your software and, if you know current
owner, request the ownership of it, if you don't know who he is, tell us
and we will give you the ownership (we allow anyone to register
products, but the maintainers have preference to be the owners of it).


Once you have that, you should take a look to the product series it has,
gallery-2.0.1, usually, for translations, you should use 'main' that
represents 'trunk' in SVN and 'HEAD' in CVS, so you don't need to import
new templates with every release you do. If you have more than one
branch supported in Gallery, tell us and we will recommend the best
layout.

Once you decide the product series you want to use to link translations,
you select it, and then, the 'translations' menu. There, you will see
'Upload Translations' action, where you can upload a tar.gz with
the .pot and .po files.

After that, Jordi, Danilo or I should approve all .pot files you
imported (only the first time, later updates will be approved
automatically).

No, it will appear in the UI as a list of translation domains to
translate, just like we do with OO.org:
