# Contributing Foreign Language Translations of GPT4All
## Overview
To contribute foreign language translations to the GPT4All project will require
installation of a graphical tool called Qt Linguist. This tool can be obtained by
installing a subset of Qt. You'll also need to clone this github repository locally
on your filesystem.
Once this tool is installed you'll be able to use it to load specific translation
files found in the gpt4all github repository and add your foreign language translations.
Once you've done this you can contribute back those translations by opening a pull
request on Github or by sharing it with one of the administrators on GPT4All [discord.](https://discord.gg/4M2QFmTt2k)
## Download Qt Linguist
- Go to https://login.qt.io/register to create a free Qt account.
- Download the Qt Online Installer for your OS from here: https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss
- Sign into the installer.
- Agree to the terms of the (L)GPL 3 license.
- Select whether you would like to send anonymous usage statistics to Qt.
- On the Installation Folder page, leave the default installation path, and select "Custom Installation".

- Under "Qt", select the latest Qt 6.x release as well as Developer and Designer Tools
- NOTE: This will install much more than the Qt Linguist tool and you can deselect portions, but to be
safe I've included the easiest steps that will also enable you to build GPT4All from source if you wish.
## Open Qt Linguist
After installation you should be able to find the Qt Linguist application in the following locations:
- Windows `C:\Qt\6.7.2\msvc2019_64\bin\linguist.exe`
- macOS `/Users/username/Qt/6.7.2/macos/bin/Linguist.app`
- Linux `/home/username/Qt/6.7.2/gcc_64/bin/linguist`

## After you've opened Qt Linguist
- Navigate to the translation file you're interested in contributing to. This file will be located
in the gpt4all `translations` directory found on your local filesystem after you've cloned the
gpt4all github repository. It is this folder [gpt4all/gpt4all-chat/translations](https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all/tree/main/gpt4all-chat/translations)
located on your local fileystem after cloning the repository.
## Information on how to use Qt Linguist
- [Manual for translators](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/linguist-translators.html)
- [Video explaining how translators use Qt Linguist](https://youtu.be/xNIz78IPBu0?t=351)
## Once you've edited the translations save the file
- Open a [pull request](https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all/pulls) for your changes.
- Alternatively, you may share your translation file with one of the administrators on GPT4All [discord.](https://discord.gg/4M2QFmTt2k)
