Translations
Translations are handled through the Corebird project on Transifex. 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.

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.
