+
+## Steps:
+
+- Fork the repositories or Download Zip file
+- Translate and try
+- Upload: push to that repository or send directly to us
+
+## External tools:
+
+You may ignore those tools since BSG translation source files are just text files thus a simple text editor may work well with them. However, the below tools can help:
+
+Qt Linguist: this tool comes with Qt Creator thus we can’t download and use it separately. If you can, download that software (Qt Creator, it is a freeware with community version, at https://www.qt.io/) to use Linguist. It can help to speed up the translation significantly. It can convert your text files (translate sources) into binary files (with extension .qm) to use directly with BSG thus you can use immediately and/or check the translation. It also has some functions such as dictionaries that can store and extract translated sentences thus can help very much since many sentences are the same.
+
+## Translate
+Change the file bsg_en.ts into your language form:
+
+Change filename: change the suffix from en to your language code which is two characters long. For example, Germany has language code is de and the country code is de too. Thus the file name should be renamed into bsg_de.ts
+Set language-country code: open the translation source (text file), set up the header into new language-country code, in the example is de_DE:
+
+```
+<TS version=”2.1″ langugage=”de_DE”>
+```
+
+### Translate:
+
+All English sentences between tags <source></source> should be translated into new language and store in next tags <translation></translation>. The property type=”unfinished” should be removed. You may ignore to translate if the English sentence is accepted by your language.
+
+```
+<message>
+<location filename=”../../ui/dlg/activegamewidget.ui” line=”68″/>
+<source>All games</source>
+<translation>Alle Spiele</translation>
+</message>
+```
+If you are using Qt Linguist, you can convert the translation source into binary by release function (menu -> File -> release). The tool will create a new file with extension .qm (bsg_de.qm). Just copy that file into the folder languages of BSG runnable file (for macOS, that folder is inside the packet BanksiaGUI). Restart BanksiaGUI and you can select your language from the main menu. Check, re-translate and re-try until you satisfy.
+
+
+### Notes:
+- This is a hard work since the number of phrases/sentences is large (over 4000). You don't need to complete all at once. Thus translate with fun, stop when you feel enough and comit your current work. You can be back to continue later or other people can continue. For example, the German language package is work in progress (2779/4310 words). Feel free to contribute.
+- BanksiaGUI is still in intensive/fast developement as so its text. After a while please comeback and update the translations.
