@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ To update an existing translation (Windows):
To create a new translation (Linux):
1. Clone the repository in the same way as described in the main README.
2. run `cd src/duckstation-qt` and `lupdate ./ -ts translations/duckstation-qt_LANGUAGE_CODE_HERE.ts` manually. The file name should follow the `appname_language[_country].ts` convention specified [here](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linguist-translators.html#changing-the-target-locale). This should create a new `.ts` file for your language in the `translations` directory. You can find a list of language codes here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes (use the 639-1 code). If your language has different variants for different countries, append a two-letter country code at the end after an underscore. You can find a list of country codes here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes (use the 3166-1 Alpha-2 code).
2. run `cd src/duckstation-qt` and `lupdate ./ ../core/ ../frontend-common/ -tr-function-alias translate+=TranslateString -tr-function-alias translate+=TranslateStdString -tr-function-alias QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP+=TRANSLATABLE -ts translations/duckstation-qt_LANGUAGE_CODE_HERE.ts` manually.

3. Open this new translation file in Qt Linguist. On Linux, your package manager will provide it.
4. If prompted, select your language and country. Leave the source language as POSIX. Some languages seem to add a country code where is isn't necessary, too, so check that under Edit > Translation File Settings...
