+# sbt i18n
+
+An sbt plugin to generate a scala i18n bundle for various sources
+
+## Usage
+
+This plugin requires sbt 1.0.0+
+
+### Testing
+
+Run `test` for regular unit tests.
+
+Run `scripted` for [sbt script tests](http://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/Testing-sbt-plugins.html).
+
+### Publishing
+
+1.  publish your source to GitHub
+2.  [create a bintray account](https://bintray.com/signup/index) and [set up bintray credentials](https://github.com/sbt/sbt-bintray#publishing)
+3.  create a bintray repository `sbt-plugins`
+4.  update your bintray publishing settings in `build.sbt`
+5.  `sbt publish`
+6.  [request inclusion in sbt-plugin-releases](https://bintray.com/sbt/sbt-plugin-releases)
+7.  [Add your plugin to the community plugins list](https://github.com/sbt/website#attention-plugin-authors)
+8.  [Claim your project an Scaladex](https://github.com/scalacenter/scaladex-contrib#claim-your-project)
