+
+## Development
+
+Please see the [developer guide](docs/DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md) for in-depth details about Obtanium's architecture.
+

+
+### Style
+
+#### Bracing
+
+Please use the "K&R" bracing style. 
+
+```Kotlin
+override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
+    intent?.let {
+        setIntent(transformShareIntent(it))
+    }
+    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
+}
+```
+
+#### Indentation
+
+Obtanium is a mixed spacing project; tabs are **not** used. Files will use either four or two spaces as indentation. Please follow the spacing in the current file. New files should use 4 spaces.
+
+## Translations / i18n
+
+User shown text strings are located in `*.json` files in [assets/translations](assets/translations). 
+The main template file is [en.json](assets/translations/en.json). At a minimum please add english translations for any new strings to this file.
+
+[standardize.mjs](assets/translations/standardize.mjs) and MTL may be used as a first pass to add translations for other languages, until more apt translations are proposed.
+
+Please also follow the [indentation style](#indentation).
