I think my most controversial change would be the renaming of "book" to "publication" in a number of places. Most other changes are to keep the English verbosity low, the GUI text is easier to parse when it is concise.

I have also renamed "serial annotator mode" (which doesn't mean much and is hard to translate) and "quick annotator mode" which is equally unclear. IMO

OPDS
Imagine a world where you can explore and download digital publications from public libraries and digital booksellers with just a few clicks. That's exactly what the Open Publication Distribution System (OPDS) catalog format offers. With OPDS, you can navigate through catalogs from various ebook providers, sign up, borrow, buy a publication, or visit your personal bookshelf. You can even download an ebook or audiobook directly into Thorium Reader for instant reading.
So, how do you find an OPDS catalog? It's simple. Look for a hyperlink (URL) leading to the catalog. Copy this URL into the Link field above. Keep in mind that there's no one-stop shop for all active OPDS catalogs. You'll need to contact your preferred library or bookseller and ask for their OPDS catalog URL. If you're not sure where to start, Wikipedia has a few registries of OPDS catalogs in various languages that might be helpful.
The Name field is left at your convenience; it provides an easy way to identify the feed in Thorium Reader.
Library account
How does it work?
In France, many public libraries provide a machine-readable catalog (similar to OPDS but not identical), letting patrons download digital publications from their personal bookshelf. Integrating this technology in Thorium Reader allows you to download an ebook or audiobook directly into Thorium Reader for instant reading.
How do you connect your French public library account to Thorium Reader? It's simple. Enter a French city ("Paris") or part of the library name in the Search field and hit the Search button. A list of public libraries corresponding to your search will appear. Select a library and hit Add. In the updated list of catalogs, select this library: an authentication form is displayed. Enter your username/email address and password, and hit Login. You can now see the content of your personal bookshelf, from which you can download and read the ebooks and audiobooks you previously borrowed.
