src='https://flathub.org/assets/badges/flathub-badge-en.png'/\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n### Using Nix\n\n[![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dch82/Nixpkgs-Badges/main/nixpkgs-badge-light.svg)](https://search.nixos.org/packages?size=1\u0026show=wordbook)\n\nThis method can be used anywhere the Nix package manager is installed.\n\n### Using distro-specific packages\n\nWordbook is packaged for Arch through the AUR as [`wordbook`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wordbook).\n\nOn NixOS, Wordbook can be installed using the Nix package manager as shown above. Additionally, the following code can be added to your NixOS configuration file, usually located in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`.\n\n```\n  environment.systemPackages = [\n    pkgs.wordbook\n  ];\n```\n\n## Building from Source\n\nTo build Wordbook from source, use Meson:\n\n```bash\nmeson setup builddir\nmeson compile -C builddir\nmeson install -C builddir\n```\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome. There are many ways to contribute:\n\n1. Open GitHub issues to report bugs or for feature requests.\n2. Develop a feature or a bug fix. It would be best to open an issue or discussion first before developing a feature.\n3. Add new translations or improve existing translations.\n\n### Development\n\nThe best way to work with Wordbook is to either use [GNOME Builder](https://apps.gnome.org/Builder/) or to use [flatplay](https://github.com/mufeedali/flatplay) with your editor of choice.\n\n### Translations\n\nThe easiest way to contribute to translations right now is to do one of the following:\n\n1. Approve the LLM-generated translations by removing the line that says `# llm-generated`.\n2. Replace the LLM-generated translations.\n3. Improve the human-translated strings.\n\nThe LLM-generated translations are to try and ease the burden on translators. The idea is to have temporary translations until a human can review them. All strings translated by LLMs are tagged as `llm-generated`.\n\n## Code of Conduct\n\nThis project adheres to the [GNOME Code of Conduct](https://conduct.gnome.org/). By participating through any means, including PRs, Issues or Discussions, you are expected to uphold this code.\n","funding_links":["https://liberapay.com/mufeedali","https://github.com/sponsors/mufeedali"],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmufeedali%2Fwordbook","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmufeedali%2Fwordbook","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmufeedali%2Fwordbook/lists"}
