Revolt Translation Guidelines

Welcome!

This repository aims to host various guidelines regarding the translation of Revolt.

Disclaimer

The guidelines in this repository are not considered official. They are made, and mostly accepted by, the community of translators behind Revolt.
As the name suggests are they guidelines and not rules.

Structure

Each language has their own guidelines_<language>.md file explaining stuff. For easier understanding is each file written in the language of which Revolt is translated to.
This means that a guidelines_de.md file is written in german, while a guidelines_fr.md is written in french.

Contributing

Feel free to contribute to this repository by either submitting your own guidelines or contributing to an existing one (i.e. fixing grammar mistakes).

Structure

The Guideline files do not follow any particular structure except for the file name which needs to be guidelines_<language>.md (<language> would be the short code of the language).

It is recommended to follow this general structure in the file itself.

# Guidelines for <language>
Short summary about this file like for what language it is meant.

```patch

Example:  
```patch
