 # General information
 
 - All the applications share the same library, which, for historical reasons, is in ReactNativeClient/lib. This library is copied to the relevant directories when builing each app.
-- The translations are built by running CliClient/build-translation.sh. For this reasons, it's generally better to get the CLI app to build first so that everything is setup correctly.
-- Note: building translations is no longer required to run the apps, so you can ignore all the below requirements about gettext.
+- The translations are built by running CliClient/build-translation.sh. You normally don't need to run this if you haven't updated the translation since the compiled files are on the repository.
 
 ## macOS dependencies
 
-     brew install yarn node xgettext
-     npm install -g node-gyp
-    echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
-    source ~/.bash_profile
+	brew install yarn node
+	echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
+	source ~/.bash_profile
+
