To add a new language, copy data/translations/kdiskmark.ts to data/translations/kdiskmark_<ISO 639-1 language code>_<ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 language code>.ts, translate it, then add the file to the TS_FILES variable in CMakeLists.txt, and create a pull request. It is also possible to add localized Comment and Keywords sections into data/kdiskmark.desktop.
