+# Contributing
+
+Pull requests are welcome. Most changes in code, especially new features, should be accompanied by new tests.
+
+We recommend using [Nix](https://nixos.org) when working on Drasl. This repository includes a `flake.nix` supplying a development environment (run `nix develop` or use [direnv](https://direnv.net)) and a build script (run `nix build`).
+
+We use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) for pre-commit hooks. Before you `git commit`, set up [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) (it's already included in the Nix development environment) and run `pre-commit install`.
+
+## Translations
+
+Translating Drasl from English to other languages happens on [Hosted Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/unmojang/drasl). All contributions are welcome, including translations to new languages and suggestions to improve existing translations.
