Translation

• Translations update

A new eLRC format support!

Added support for advanced syncing Word-by-Word (WBW).

WBW syncing has 2 steps: Edit the lyrics you gonna sync and... sync them. Editing lyrics while syncing is not possible in WBW mode.

Unfortunately, LRClib does not have support for eLRC lyrics, so WBW lyrics aren't possible to upload to LRClib :(

Navigation in WBW syncing mode happens by using Alt+{arrow_keys}, so using WBW on mobile will be too overwhelming, so it's not recommended.

If the lyrics you've provided are partially synced then the app will start the synchronization from the first unsynced word.

Now there will be two types of files: eLRCs with eLRC prefix set up and plain .lrc

Don't forget to check Preferences after the update :)
