Adding a Task

There are two way you can add a task to the Task Board. First is the usual old method of directly writing down the task inside the markdown file. The second method is using a Add New Task Window to add different properties to the task using input elements to make the adding properties easy and ensuring the format comes properly.

It will be easy but a powerful step to make this plugin, accessible to many people. Read this doc to learn to contribute for Language Translation : Contribute To Language Translation.
