You can help by translating the mod in your native language. Check if there is a matching file for you language for all of the _EN.txt files in here.[github.com] If not you can create a new ones an either do a pull request or (if you don't know how to do that) create a ticket with your files attached to it.

If you are a developer and would like to contribute by porting the Bard Music Binding software to Linux or Mac it is possible to do so. The only thing that is not multi-platform as the time is the sending of key events and the listing of the windows.
