+# 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)
