## How can I translate to {language}?
Awesome!
Like most open-source projects, Unciv is developed at Github
The translation files are at https://github.com/yairm210/UnCiv/tree/master/android/assets/jsons/Translations
When you feel that you're ready to add your translation to the game, you'll need to create a merge request, which takes your changes and puts them into the main version of the game - it's pretty straightforward once you do it
Do as much as you're comfortable with - it's a big game with a lot of named objects, so don't feel pressured into doing everything =)
You don't need to download anything, all translation work can be done on the Github website :)
Note that Right-to-Left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew are not supported by the framework :/
THE most common request, hands down. Everyone wants their favorite Civ in the game, I get that. But there are so many other things to work on - automations, AI, UI, graphics, bugs, and of course other features from the original game that are currently missing. Eventually we'll have them all, but the key word is "eventually".
There are standalone zip files for each operating system in [Releases](https://github.com/yairm210/UnCiv/releases) which contain everything needed for Unciv to run
If you have Java 8, and are familiar with the command line, there are (considerably smaller) JARs in [Releases](https://github.com/yairm210/UnCiv/releases) which you can run with `java -jar Unciv.jar`
Be aware that the game will generate files inside the for where the Jar is located!
If you also have JDK 8 installed, you can compile Unciv on your own by cloning (or downloading and unzipping) the project, opening a terminal in the Unciv folder and run the following commands:
If the terminal returns Permission denied or Command not found on Mac/Linux, run `chmod +x ./gradlew` before running `./gradlew`. *This is a one-time procedure.*
