+This directory stores translation patches (TS files) for citra Qt frontend. This directory is linked with [citra project on transifex](https://www.transifex.com/citra/citra), so you can update the translation by executing `tx pull -a`. If you want to contribute to the translation, please go the transifex link and submit your translation there. This directory on the main repo will be synchronized with transifex periodically. Do not directly open PRs on github to modify the translation.
