## Installation
### Manual
0. Install dependencies - I recommend using your package manager for this.
1. Clone repository
2. Type the following in the root directory:

        $ python setup.py build
        # python setup.py install
3. OR launch with `lector/__main__.py`

### Available packages
* [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lector-git/)
* [Gentoo (unofficial)](https://bitbucket.org/szymonsz/gen2-overlay/src/master/app-text/lector/)

## Translations
1. There is a `SAMPLE.ts` file in `resources/translations`. Open it in `Qt Linguist`.
2. Pick the language you wish to translate to.
3. Translate relevant strings.
4. Try to resist the urge to include profanity.
5. Save the file as `Lector_<language>` and send it to me, preferably as a pull request.

Oh, please keep the translations short. There's only so much space for UI elements.
