## Contributions, Development and Bugs.

|
||||
|

### I found a bug, what can I do?
|
||||
|
||||
Firstly, make sure it's the latest stable version of HexChat.
|
||||
|
||||
If you still experience issues, you can search for the issue on
|
||||
[Github](https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues?state=open)
|
||||
[GitHub](https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues?state=open)
|
||||
if it has not been reported open an issue with as much detail as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Can I write a new language translation for HexChat?
|
||||
|
||||
You sure can, but I don't accept translations directly. They must be
|
||||
done through the [Transifex
|
||||
Project](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/hexchat/). You simply register
|
||||
on the site, then you can apply for membership in a translation team via the web
|
||||
interface. Approvals are done manually so it might take a few days for you to be
|
||||
approved. Also bear in mind that the email address with which you register on
|
||||
Transifex will be visible in the translation files.
