			@PeterT sadly no.. looks totally outdated and dead. the first post was not so clear but the following comments revealed the method. the problem is that the scripts are old. so i have no clue how to extract the source language file from the binary.

			krc.storage.pgaskin.net has the translations, and KoboPatch can generate a KoboRoot.tgz.

			nice. thank you. finally some SAUCES. i'm pretty new and however i already met with kobopatch it is not clear how can i add a custom language file. i read here several threads/articles. not sure what is the actual latest method. what i understood that the file can be added as an update inside of a tgz disk image. are there any updated guide i can use?

			Not sure there is much of a guide other than the bit in kobopatch.yaml: 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Code: 
	## TRANSLATIONS ## # Optional, use only if lrelease is not in PATH and if translations are needed # lrelease: /path/to/lrelease # Uncomment the following to add translations (replace lc with the language code) # translations: # src/whatever.ts: usr/local/Kobo/translations/trans_lc.qm  |

			By default, English will be there. Which second language would be more convenient for you?..
