How to Build and Run Storylines from source

Make sure your machine is running on Windows 10 1903+.
Make sure you have Visual Studio 2019 16.2+ installed.
Make sure you have the "Universal Windows Platform development" component installed for Visual Studio.
Open src/Storylines.sln with Visual Studio and set Solution Platform to x64(amd64).
Once opened, right-click on the solution and click on "Restore NuGet Packages".
Now you should be able to build and run Storylines on your machine. If it fails, try to close the solution and reopen it again. *If x64 doesn't work, use the architecture of your system

Ensure you have Visual Studio 2019 and the Multilingual App Toolkit extension.
Fork and clone this repo.
Open in VS 2019.
Right click on the Storylines project.
Select Multilingual App Toolkit > Add translation language.
- If you get a message saying "Translation Provider Manager Issue," just click Ok and ignore it. It's unrelated to adding a language.
Select a language.
Once you select a language, new .xlf files will be created in the MultilingualResources folder.
Now follow the Improving an existing language steps below.

Inside the MultilingualResources folder, open the .xlf of the language you want to translate.
- You can open using any text editor, or you can use the Multilingual Editor
If you're using a text editor, translate the strings inside the <target> node. Then change the state property to translated.
If you're using the Multilingual Editor, translate the strings inside the Translation text field. Make sure to save to preserve your changes.

- Once you're done, commit your changes, push to GitHub, and make a pull request.
