+Monero daemon internationalization
+==================================
+
 The Monero command line tools can be translated in various languages.
-In order to use the same translation workflow as the future GUI, they
-use Qt Linguist translation files. However, to avoid the dependencies
-on Qt this normally implies, they use a custom loader to read those
-files at runtime. In order to update, or build translations files, you
-do need to have Qt tools installed, however. For translating, you need
-either the Qt Linguist GUI, or another tool that supports Qt ts files,
-such as Transifex. To run, you do not need anything Qt.

+In order to use the same translation workflow as the [Monero Core GUI](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core), they use Qt Linguist translation files.  However, to avoid the dependencies on Qt this normally implies, they use a custom loader to read those files at runtime.
+
+### Tools for translators
+
+In order to create, update or build translations files, you need to have Qt tools installed. For translating, you need either the **Qt Linguist GUI** ([part of QT Creator](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#allDownloadsDiv-9) or a [3rd-party standalone version](https://github.com/lelegard/qtlinguist-installers/releases)), or another tool that supports Qt ts files, such as Transifex.  The files are XML, so they can be edited in any plain text editor if needed.
+
+### Creating / modifying translations
+
+You do not need anything from Qt in order to use the final translations.
 
 To update ts files after changing source code:
 
-  ./utils/translations/update-translations.sh
+    ./utils/translations/update-translations.sh
 
 To add a new language, eg Spanish (ISO code es):
 
-  cp translations/monero.ts translations/monero_es.ts
+    cp translations/monero.ts translations/monero_es.ts
 
 To edit translations for Spanish:
 
-  linguist translations/monero_es.ts
+    linguist translations/monero_es.ts
 
 To build translations after modifying them:
 
-  ./utils/translations/build-translations.sh
+    ./utils/translations/build-translations.sh
 
 To test a translation:
 
-  LANG=es ./build/release/bin/monero-wallet-cli
+    LANG=es ./build/release/bin/monero-wallet-cli
 
-To add new translatable sources in the source:
+To add new translatable strings in the source code:
 
-  Use the tr(string) function if possible. If the code is in a class,
-  and this class doesn't already have a tr() static function, add one,
-  which uses a context named after what lupdate uses for the context,
-  usually the fully qualified class name (eg, cryptonote::simple_wallet).
-  If you need to use tr in code that's not in a class, you can use the
-  fully qualified version (eg, simple_wallet::tr) of the one matching
-  the context you want.
-  Use QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP(string) if you want to specify a context manually.
+Use the `tr(string)` function if possible. If the code is in a class, and this class doesn't already have a `tr()` static function, add one, which uses a context named after what `lupdate` uses for the context, usually the fully qualified class name (eg, `cryptonote::simple_wallet`).  If you need to use `tr()` in code that's not in a class, you can use the fully qualified version (eg, `simple_wallet::tr`) of the one matching the context you want. Use `QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP(string)` if you want to specify a context manually.
 
 If you're getting messages of the form:
 
-  Class 'cryptonote::simple_wallet' lacks Q_OBJECT macro
+    Class 'cryptonote::simple_wallet' lacks Q_OBJECT macro
 
 all is fine, we don't actually need that here.
