 <h3>Editing the language file:</h3>
 <p>LameXP v4.xx translations are created as TS (translation) files, which can be edited using the <i>Qt Linguist</i> application. For new translations an empty TS file ("Blank.ts") is provided in the LameXP Git repository. When you open the empty TS file for the first time, Linguist will ask for some basic settings. Here you must keep the "Source language" options at "English" and "Any Country". Change the "Target language" options to whatever language (region) you are going to translate too. Once you have edited all (or some) text strings, you can save your work to a TS file again. It is recommended to save your work to "LameXP_XX.ts", where <i>XX</i> should be replaced with the suitable upper-case <a href="http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php" target="_blank">ISO 639-1</a> country code (for example the German translation is saved as "LameXP_DE.ts"). You can re-open your TS file at any time in order to continue with your work. In case you want to improve an existing LameXP translation, simply download the corresponding TS file from the LameXP Git repository and edit it using the Qt Linguist tool.</p>
-<p>The latest translation (TS) files can always be found in the LameXP Git repository at:<br><a href="https://github.com/lordmulder/LameXP/tree/master/etc/Translation" target="_blank">https://github.com/lordmulder/LameXP/tree/master/etc/Translation</a></p>
+<p>The latest translation (TS) files can always be found in the LameXP Git repository at:<br><a href="https://github.com/lordmulder/LameXP/tree/master/etc/Translation" target="_blank">https://github.com/lordmulder/LameXP/tree/master/etc/Translation</a><br>(After you have chosen a file from the directory tree, you can download the file by right-clicking on "raw" an choosing "Save Link Target As...")</p>
 <p><font color="darkred"><b>Important:</b> Before you start translating, always make sure your download the <i>latest</i> "Blank.ts" file from the LameXP Git repository. If you want to edit an existing translation, including translations you have created yourself, make sure your download the <i>latest</i> TS file from the LameXP Git repository. Never ever do any translations based on an old working copy (TS file) from your local system! The translation files in the repository will be updated, as the development proceeds.</font></p>
