+# Contributing to Projectfork Translations
+
+Please take a moment to review this document in order to make the contribution
+process easy and effective for everyone involved.
+
+Following these guidelines helps to communicate that you respect the time of
+the developers managing and developing this open source project. In return,
+they should reciprocate that respect in addressing your issue or assessing
+patches and features.
+
+
+## Using the issue tracker
+The issue tracker is the preferred channel for [bug reports](#bugs) and
+[submitting pull requests](#pull-requests), but please respect the following
+restrictions:
+
+* Please **do not** use the issue tracker for personal support requests.
+
+* Please **do not** derail or troll issues. Keep the discussion on topic and
+  respect the opinions of others.
+
+
+<a name="bugs"></a>
+## Bug reports
+A bug is a _demonstrable problem_ that is caused by the code in the repository.
+Good bug reports are extremely helpful - thank you!
+
+Guidelines for bug reports:
+
+1. **Check if an update is available** &mdash; Purge Cache in *Joomla => Extension
+   Manager => Update => Purge Cache*. After that, click *Find Updates*
+
+2. **Use the GitHub issue search** &mdash; check if the issue has already been
+   reported.
+
+3. **Check if the issue has been fixed** &mdash; try to reproduce it using the
+   latest `master` or development branch in the repository.
+
+4. *(Projectfork Language Pack Installer only)* **Isolate the problem** &mdash; ideally
+   create a [reduced test case](http://css-tricks.com/6263-reduced-test-cases/) and a
+   live example.
+
+
+A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more
+information. Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report. What is
+your environment? What steps will reproduce the issue? What browser(s) and OS
+experience the problem? What would you expect to be the outcome? All these
+details will help people to fix any potential bugs.
+
+Example:
+
+> Short and descriptive example bug report title
+>
+> A summary of the issue and the browser/OS environment in which it occurs. If
+> suitable, include the steps required to reproduce the bug.
+>
+> 1. This is the first step
+> 2. This is the second step
+> 3. Further steps, etc.
+>
+> `<url>` - a link to the reduced test case
+>
+> Any other information you want to share that is relevant to the issue being
+> reported. This might include the lines of code that you have identified as
+> causing the bug, and potential solutions (and your opinions on their
+> merits).
+

+## Pull requests
+
+Good pull requests - languages, patches, improvements, new features - are a fantastic
+help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits.
+
+**Please ask first** before embarking on any significant pull request (e.g.
+implementing new language, refactoring code, porting to a different language),
+otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that the
+project's developers might not want to merge into the project.
+
+Please adhere to the coding conventions used throughout a project (indentation,
+accurate comments, etc.) and any other requirements (such as test coverage).
+
+Adhering to the following this process is the best way to get your work
+included in the project:
+
+1. [Fork](http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/) the project, clone your fork,
+   and configure the remotes:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
+   git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>
+   # Navigate to the newly cloned directory
+   cd <repo-name>
+   # Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
+   git remote add upstream https://github.com/<upstream-owner>/<repo-name>
+   ```
+
+2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:
+
+   ```bash
+   git checkout <dev-branch>
+   git pull upstream <dev-branch>
+   ```
+
+3. Create a new topic branch (off the main project development branch) to
+   contain your feature, change, or fix:
+
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>
+   ```
+
+4. Commit your changes in logical chunks. Please adhere to these [git commit
+   message guidelines](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html)
+   or your code is unlikely be merged into the main project. Use Git's
+   [interactive rebase](https://help.github.com/articles/interactive-rebase)
+   feature to tidy up your commits before making them public.
+
+5. Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:
+
+   ```bash
+   git pull [--rebase] upstream <dev-branch>
+   ```
+
+6. Push your topic branch up to your fork:
+
+   ```bash
+   git push origin <topic-branch-name>
+   ```
+
+7. [Open a Pull Request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/)
+    with a clear title and description.
+
+**IMPORTANT**: By submitting a patch, you agree to allow the project owner to
+license your work under the same license as that used by the project.
