 ## Contributing to the Project
-As with many other open-source projects, this one is also maintained by its author in his free time. Any help in making Traditional T9 better will be highly appreciated. Here is what you could do:
-- [Report bugs](https://github.com/sspanak/tt9/issues) or other unusual behavior on different phones. Currently, the only testing and development device is: Qin F21 Pro+ / Android 11.
-- Add [a new language](CONTRIBUTING.md#adding-a-new-language), [new UI translations](CONTRIBUTING.md#translating-the-ui) or simply fix a spelling mistake. The process is very simple and even with minimum techincal knowledge, your skills as a native speaker will be of great use. Or, if you are not tech-savvy, just [open a new issue](https://github.com/sspanak/tt9/issues) and put the correct translations there.
