I can translate Czech comments in code, if it helps for further development. What files have the highest priority, where can I start?

It would be great!
The core of the Salamander is located in the '\src' directory, which includes files like bitmap.cpp, bitmap.h, and so on.
https://github.com/OpenSalamander/salam ... e/main/src
I would use Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio (Community Edition) for such work, both have spell checker and GitHub Copilot integration.
It would be good to start small steps at a time to catch any bugs right at the beginning.

I just tried it. I've included .gitignore file by mistake as well, and I did not know how to remove it from the Pull request.
It's my first attempt to put something to GitHub from Visual Studio, sorry for the mess, it is going to be better next time!

That looks great! I just tried out ChatGPT 4, maybe it could make things a bit easier?
I have small python script to extract comments from source file.

I was a bit worried about the missing diacritics in the source (Czech) strings, but it looks like AI understood the meaning. The most critical differences are in the used terminology. I've used "fetch" for "vytáhnu" (which does not sound technical at all
), while AI used "extract", etc.

Another option, GitHub Copilot with Visual Studio 2022:

Just a minor nitpick before more people jump in: it is often important to setup coding rules and commit message rules first. Such commits as „Update README” are a bit hard to understand without actually looking at the diff. Similarly „English translation of source code comments for bitmap.cpp” could be written as „bitmap.cpp: translate comments”.

I agree, I will use better commit messages for further changes.

Small suggestion for the team - set the rules and decide who will do the "spell check" so that the rules are uphold.
