Thank you for taking the time to contribute to DuckDuckGo! ✨

How to help

1. Each language has a values directory containing the language code, and the strings.xml file contains the translations. Examples:
   • Italian translation files are located within app/src/main/res/values-it/strings.xml
   • Spanish translation files are located within app/src/main/res/values-es/strings.xml
2. If you notice anything which should be fixed, you should create a PR containing the improved language suggestions.
   1. Make the changes to the relevant strings.xml file
   2. Test the app in the language you've improved, and ensure the changed strings look good
   3. Create a PR. As well as the changes themselves, explaining why the changes are an improvement helps a lot.
