Pidgin uses gettext to handle translations; translating Pidgin requires that you
edit a .po file.  Since we don't already have a Khmer translation, you'll need
to work from the template, pidgin.pot.  You can download the pidgin.pot file
from the bottom of the page at http://developer.pidgin.im/l10n/ and translate
with your favorite text editor or any translation-specific tool, and somewhere
during this process rename it to XX.po (substituting the language code for XX).

Reading http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForTranslators may be useful, too.
