## Translations
Translations are handled through the [Corebird project on Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/corebird).
Changing the .po files in this repo won't work and they will just be overridden the next time I merge the
translations from Transifex, which usually happens before every stable release.
## Contributing
All contributions are welcome (artwork, design, code, just ideas, etc.) but if you're planning to
actively change something bigger, talk to me first.
## Dependencies
- **Latest development version of gtk+ 4.0**
- **Latest development version of vala**
- `glib-2.0 >= 2.44`
- `json-glib-1.0`
- `sqlite3`
- `libsoup-2.4`
- `gettext >= 0.19.7`
- `vala >= 0.28` (makedep)
- `meson` (makedep)
- `gst-plugins-base-1.0` (for playbin, disable via --disable-video)
- `gst-plugins-bad-1.0 >= 1.6` (disable via --disable-video, default enabled)
- `gst-plugins-good-1.0` (disable via --disable-video, default enabled)
- `gst-libav-1.0` (disable via --disable-video, default enabled)
- `gspell-1 >= 1.2` (for spellchecking, disable via --disable-spellcheck, default enabled)
Note that the above packages are just rough estimations, the actual package names on your distribution may vary.
If you pass `--disable-video` to the configure script, you don't need any gstreamer dependency but won't be able to view any videos.
## Compiling
```
meson ./build
ninja -C ./build
ninja -C ./build install
```
Corebird installs its application icon into `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/`, so an appropriate call to `gtk-update-icon-cache` might be needed.
