GitHub does not allow attaching `*.slvs` files, but it does allow attaching `*.zip` files,
so any savefiles should first be archived.
Contributing translations
-------------------------
To contribute a translation, not a lot is necessary—at a minimum, you need to be able
to edit .po files with a tool such as [poedit](https://poedit.net/). Once you have
such a tool installed, take `res/messages.pot` and start translating!
However, if you want to see your translation in action, a little more work is necessary.
First, you need to be able to build SolveSpace; see [README](README.md). After that:
* Copy `res/messages.pot` to `res/locales/xx_YY.po`, where `xx` is an ISO 639-1
country code, and `YY` is an ISO 3166-1 language code.
* Add a line `xx-YY,LCID,Name` to `res/locales.txt`, where `xx-YY` have the same
meaning as above, `LCID` is a Windows Language Code Identifier ([MS-LCID][]
has a complete list), and `Name` is the full name of your locale in your language.
* Add `locales/xx_YY.po` in `res/CMakeLists.txt`—search for `locales/en_US.po`
to see where it should be added.
You're done! Recompile SolveSpace and you should be able to select your translation
via Help → Language.
