## Updating translation files
Updating the QML translation files is very easy, as it comes with QT directly. It will scan all files in the projects (those listed in the `SOURCE` section of the `.pro` file) and then add or modify them in the XML-like `.ts` files.
## Generating binary translation files
To have the final translation files that will be used by the app, just run `lrelease i18n/*.ts` in the `ui/` directory
