+# Translating Hush SD and SDL on Windows
+This document provides a detailed guide on how to translate the Hush wallets SilentDragon 
+(SD) and SilentDragonLite (SDL) to your own language. Please be sure to read the general guidelines
+on https://git.hush.is/hush/translations first.
+
+## Software
+
+Even though translation (.ts) files are in plain XML format and can be edited with any text editor, there is a 
+handy tool that not only makes it easier to translate, but also keeps your translation up to date with
+the source files. For this purpose Qt has provided Linguist and a set of other helper
+tools to manage and compile your translation. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtlinguist-index.html for 
+further information on how to use Linguist.
+
+Get Windows compiles of the required files at https://github.com/thurask/Qt-Linguist/releases
+
+In this guide we'll only use `linquist.exe` and `lupdate.exe`. Be sure to select the 5.x files
+for maximum compatibility with Hush.
+
+## Getting ready
+
+As we want the translation to be based on the most recent version of the wallets, we're going to download
+the latest source files first. This example is for SD, but the same applies to SDL.
+Depending on which wallet you want to translate, go to https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragon or
+https://git.hush.is/hush/SilentDragonLite, make sure that the `master` branch is selected and in the upper right corner click the "Download Repository" button.
+Save the source code as a .zip file to your computer. Unpack the zip file to an easy to reach location.
+For this tutorial we'll use `D:/Hush/silentdragon`.
+
+## Creating or updating a translation
+
+Now with the source files downloaded it's time to create or update a translation based on the latest source files, the 
+process is the same. Here's an example of a command to create a new translation or update an existing translation. 
+For existing translation files, it also removes obsolete translations not present in the current source code:
+
+`lupdate.exe "D:\Hush\silentdragon\" -ts "D:\Hush\silentdragon\res\silentdragon_xx.ts" -noobsolete`
+
+Let's break down the command:
+
+- `lupdate.exe` in this example is assumed to be executed from the path it resides in
+- `"D:\Hush\silentdragon\"` the path of the source code
+- `-ts "D:\Hush\silentdragon\res\silentdragon_xx.ts"` the output fle containing the translation with `xx` being a lower case ISO 639-1 (2-letter) language code. When not available, an ISO 639-2 (3-letter) code can be used.
+- `-noobsolete` removes the obsolete translations of sections no longer present in the current source code
+
+### Editing the .ts file
+
+Start `linquist.exe` and begin translating the texts and labels. Read the Linguist documentation mentioned above to 
+learn how to use the helper functions to help you with producing clean and consistent translations. When done save your 
+.ts file and publish with *File > Release* or *File > Release As...* as a .qm file.
