If your language hasn't been done yet, check Github Issues to see if someone's already working on it.
**If so:** help them!
**If not:** fork this repo & link to your fork in a new Github Issue,
announcing that you're translating for that language!

Step 5)
Send a Pull Request editing *just* `<div id="translations">` in `index.html`
to add a link to your translation from the main page.
Step 6)
Wait for me to get off my lazy butt & accept the Pull Request (within \~72 hours? maybe?)
Step 7)
🎉 Party! Your translation should now be linked to from the main page.
(Remember to close your Github Issue!)
