Understanding the Code: A Ballon Game Analogy

Think of your installation process as preparing a balloon game where players bring unique balloons (files, scripts, and tools) to the party (your computer). Each player must correctly follow the steps to gain access to the big screen where translations happen (the launch script). Just like some balloons require a bit of extra effort to inflate (like installing Python or Git), once they are ready, they join others at the party and together create a colorful atmosphere where text is translated beautifully.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during installation or while using BallonTranslator, consider these troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure you have the correct version of Python installed (3.12).
• Verify that Git is correctly installed and accessible from your command line.
• Check the internet connection as some features require network access.
• Look for any dependency issues by ensuring all package installations completed without errors.
