## TLDR
1. Copy the translation files from https://github.com/status-im/status-react/tree/develop/translations to `/nim-status-client/scripts/translationScripts/status-react-translations`
2. Run `node qstrConverter.js` in the `translationScripts/` directory
3. Run `lupdate` in the `ui/` directory
4. [Optional] Manually translate the remaining strings in QT Linguist
5. Run `lrelease -idbased i18n/*.ts` in the `ui/` directory
2. `cd scripts/translationScripts`
3. Run `npm install`
4. Run `node qstrConverter.js`
5. Open another terminal and `cd ui`
6. In that second terminal, run `lupdate nim-status-client.pro`
7. Back in the first terminal, run `node xmlTranslator.js`
7. [Optional] Manually translate the remaining strings in QT Linguist
9. In the second terminal, run `lrelease -idbased i18n/*.ts` in the `ui/` directory

Just run `lupdate nim-status-client.pro` in the `ui/` directory.
