## Translate the page to your own language
1. download / clone the repo (the source not the packed release!)
2. add your language e.g: fr
```bash
npm run add-translation -- --fr
```
it creates a new `messages.fr.xls` file at `frontend/translate` folder,
it will already contain dummy translation with google translate.
3. 'fix' the dummy translation
4. test if it works:
build and start the app
```bash
npm install
npm start
```
5. create a pull request at github to add your translation to the project.

## Known errors
* EXIF orientation tag:
* There is no nice way to handle EXIF orientation tag properly.
The page handles these photos, but might cause same error in the user experience (e.g.: the pages loads those photos slower. See issue [#11](https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2/issues/11))
