## Contributing
This section is to help you contribute to the English localization of Forgejo.
### Suggesting improvements
You send bugs, suggestions and feedback via Forgejo [issue tracker](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues) or Forgejo Localization [Matrix chatroom](https://matrix.to/#/#forgejo-localization:matrix.org). Comments on Weblate also might work but are not recommended because they're checked rarely and might not be noticed.
### Proposing changes
Similarly to other projects you can propose changes via a pull request. Read the informative sections for string managing and style guidelines above. You can perform small changes via Forgejo web UI. Otherwise you can make a fork or use AGit workflow, clone, checkout a new branch, make your changes, commit, push and open a pull request. Put some useful explanation of the change in the PR description. Screenshots are also highly welcome.
If it's a small change to the string, you don't need to test it locally. However, if you want to make larger text refactor, consider verifying that everything looks good together in live by building and running Forgejo locally. See [For contributors](https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/developer) for more information how to do this.
If your refactor affects key names, make sure to perform a mass-rename of the affected keys in all code, templates and translations. Sometimes keys are generated in code with conditions. Please check for that as well. With such refactor you might be asked to resolve merge conflicts before your PR can be merged. If you have low availability, it is best to avoid renaming transltation keys.
