If you want to help translating the script in your language or update an existent translation follow the instructions from README inside script directory.

Notice:
- It's suggested to turn off other lyric scripts like default LyricWiki.
- Some ideas (codes) are taken from Glyrics, LyricWiki, Lyrix and Wiki-Lyrics.
- Serially web sites change themselves, which can cause the script stops working for the site. Script adaptations are required when a site changes its "template".
- Script can automatically (without google support) search only sites which URL can be constructed solely by artist and title.
- The script is usually installed in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/ultimate_lyrics/ or in ~/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/scripts/ultimate_lyrics/
- Defaults settings can be changed in main.js when GUI settings doesn't work.
- The script is not automatically updatable. Occasionally you have to update the script manually from Tools->Script Manager->Get More Scripts->Update (for Ultimate Lyrics)

To do:
nothing planned

Known issues:
- The script should work properly with Qt framework 4.5.x or 4.6.x, but may have problems (like missing GUI settings) with an older version.
- A broken qtscriptbindings package (no matter of qt version) cause amarok crash when a script calls Importer.loadQtBinding. If you are experiencing the very ugly bug, you can disable loading of Ultimate Lyrics in ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc or completely remove Ultimate Lyrics installation folder and report the bug to distro maintainers.

Steps to fill a crash bug report:
- open your favorite console and run
- amarok --debug
- after Amarok crashes or throws an error alert, copy last 10 ~ 15 lines from console
- report with informations about your system (Amarok, KDE, QT version) post here or send to vladimir_brkic@yahoo.com
