You're halfway there already. There's just a little bit more you need to
do:

1) touch lib/RT/I18N/gr.po

This will create a blank file for Greek RT

2) make regenerate-catalogs

This will fill it with blanks for all the strings in RT

3) edit the file. It's just as you guessed it was ;)

4) Send the file to us, so we can package it with RT and share it with
everybody else.

I'd be indebted if you could start with RT 3.6.0pre1, rather than RT
3.4. It's almost ready for release (probably within a few weeks) and I'd
love to be able to include Greek in our supported languages.  RT 3.6
includes some new strings, so a 3.4 translation will still get us most
of the way there, though.

Thanks!
