 * It's very important that you not submit a pull request until a relevant issue has been opened **and** assigned to you. Otherwise, you risk wasting time on work that may ultimately not be needed.
 
-* New pull requests should generally be based off of the `develop` branch, rather than `master`. The `develop` branch is used for ongoing development, while `master` is used for tracking stable releases. (If you're developing for an upcoming minor release, use `feature` instead.)
+* New pull requests should generally be based off of the `main` branch. This branch, in keeping with the [trunk-based development](https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/) approach, is used for ongoing development and bug fixes and always represents the newest stable code, from which releases are periodically branched. (If you're developing for an upcoming minor release, use `feature` instead.)
 
 * In most cases, it is not necessary to add a changelog entry: A maintainer will take care of this when the PR is merged. (This helps avoid merge conflicts resulting from multiple PRs being submitted simultaneously.)

+# Google
+
+This guide explains how to configure single sign-on (SSO) support for NetBox using [Google OAuth2](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server) as an authentication backend.
+
+## Google OAuth2 Configuration
+
+1. Log into [console.cloud.google.com](https://console.cloud.google.com/).
+2. Create new project for NetBox.
+3. Under "APIs and Services" click "OAuth consent screen" and enter the required information.
+4. Under "Credentials," click "Create Credentials" and select "OAuth 2.0 Client ID." Select type "Web application."
+    - "Authorized JavaScript origins" should follow the format `http[s]://<netbox>[:<port>]`
+    - "Authorized redirect URIs" should follow the format `http[s]://<netbox>[:<port>]/oauth/complete/google-oauth2/`
+5. Copy the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" values somewhere convenient.
+
+!!! note
+    Google requires the NetBox hostname to use a public top-level-domain (e.g. `.com`, `.net`). The use of IP addresses is not permitted (except `127.0.0.1`).
+
+For more information, consult [Google's documentation](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#prerequisites).
+
+## NetBox Configuration
+
+### 1. Enter configuration parameters
+
+Enter the following configuration parameters in `configuration.py`, substituting your own values:
+
+```python
+REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND = 'social_core.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2'
+SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_KEY = '{CLIENT_ID}'
+SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SECRET = '{CLIENT_SECRET}'
+```
+
+### 2. Restart NetBox
+
+Restart the NetBox services so that the new configuration takes effect. This is typically done with the command below:
+
+```no-highlight
+sudo systemctl restart netbox
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Log out of NetBox if already authenticated, and click the "Log In" button at top right. You should see the normal login form as well as an option to authenticate using Google. Click that link.
+
+![NetBox Google login form](../../media/authentication/netbox_google_login.png)
+
+You should be redirected to Google's authentication portal. Enter the username/email and password of your test account to continue. You may also be prompted to grant this application access to your account.
+
+![NetBox Google login form](../../media/authentication/google_login_portal.png)
+
+If successful, you will be redirected back to the NetBox UI, and will be logged in as the Google user. You can verify this by navigating to your profile (using the button at top right).
+
+This user account has been replicated locally to NetBox, and can now be assigned groups and permissions.

 NetBox supports single sign-on authentication via the [python-social-auth](https://github.com/python-social-auth) library. To enable SSO, specify the path to the desired authentication backend within the `social_core` Python package. Please see the complete list of [supported authentication backends](https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-core/tree/master/social_core/backends) for the available options.
 
 Most remote authentication backends require some additional configuration through settings prefixed with `SOCIAL_AUTH_`. These will be automatically imported from NetBox's `configuration.py` file. Additionally, the [authentication pipeline](https://python-social-auth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pipeline.html) can be customized via the `SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE` parameter. (NetBox's default pipeline is defined in `netbox/settings.py` for your reference.)
+
+#### Configuring the SSO module's appearance
+
+The way a remote authentication backend is displayed to the user on the login
+page may be adjusted via the `SOCIAL_AUTH_BACKEND_ATTRS` parameter, defaulting
+to an empty dictionary. This dictionary maps a `social_core` module's name (ie.
+`REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND.name`) to a couple of parameters, `(display_name, icon)`.
+
+The `display_name` is the name displayed to the user on the login page. The
+icon may either be the URL of an icon; refer to a [Material Design
+Icons](https://github.com/google/material-design-icons) icon's name; or be
+`None` for no icon.
+
+For instance, the OIDC backend may be customized with
+
+```python
+SOCIAL_AUTH_BACKEND_ATTRS = {
+    'oidc': ("My awesome SSO", "login"),
+}
+```

This is a bit cleaner than accessing custom field data through the actual field (`custom_field_data`).

 ## Updating Translated Strings
 
 Typically, translated strings need to be updated only as part of the NetBox [release process](./release-checklist.md).
 
-To update translated strings, start by initiating a sync from Transifex. From the Transifex dashboard, navigate to Settings > Integrations > GitHub > Manage, and click the **Manual Sync** button at top right.
+Check the Transifex dashboard for languages that are not marked _ready for use_, being sure to click _Show all languages_ if it appears at the bottom of the list. Use machine translation to round out any not-ready languages. It's not necessary to review the machine translation immediately as the translation teams will handle that aspect; the goal at this stage is to get translations included in the Transifex pull request.
 
-![Transifex manual sync](../media/development/transifex_sync.png)
+To download translated strings automatically, you'll need to:
 
-Enter a threshold percentage of 1 (to ensure all translations are captured) and select the `develop` branch, then click **Sync**. This will initiate a pull request to GitHub to update any newly modified translation (`.po`) files.
+1. Install the [Transifex CLI client](https://github.com/transifex/cli)
+2. Generate a [Transifex API token](https://app.transifex.com/user/settings/api/)
 
-!!! tip
-    The new PR should appear within a few minutes. If it does not, check that there are in fact new translations to be added.
+Once you have the client set up, run the following command from the project root (e.g. `/opt/netbox/`):
 
-![Transifex pull request](../media/development/transifex_pull_request.png)
+```no-highlight
+TX_TOKEN=$TOKEN tx pull
+```
 
-Once the PR has been merged, the updated strings need to be compiled into new `.mo` files so they can be used by the application. Update the `develop` branch locally to pull in the changes from the Transifex PR, then run Django's [`compilemessages`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-compilemessages) management command:
+This will download all portable (`.po`) translation files from Transifex, updating them locally as needed.

+
+```no-highlight

 ```
 
 Once any new `.mo` files have been generated, they need to be committed and pushed back up to GitHub. (Again, this is typically done as part of publishing a new NetBox release.)
 
+!!! tip
+    Run `git status` to check that both `*.mo` & `*.po` files have been updated as expected.

 ## Proposing New Languages
 
 If you'd like to add support for a new language to NetBox, the first step is to [submit a GitHub issue](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/new?assignees=&labels=type%3A+translation&projects=&template=translation.yaml) to capture the proposal. While we'd like to add as many languages as possible, we do need to limit the rate at which new languages are added. New languages will be selected according to community interest and the number of volunteers who sign up as translators.

+
+!!! info "This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.2."
+
+VLAN translation is a feature that consists of VLAN translation policies and [VLAN translation rules](./vlantranslationrule.md). Many rules can belong to a policy, and each rule defines a mapping of a local to remote VLAN ID (VID). A policy can then be assigned to an [Interface](../dcim/interface.md) or [VMInterface](../virtualization/vminterface.md), and all VLAN translation rules associated with that policy will be visible in the interface details.
+
+There are uniqueness constraints on `(policy, local_vid)` and on `(policy, remote_vid)` in the `VLANTranslationRule` model. Thus, you cannot have multiple rules linked to the same policy that have the same local VID or the same remote VID. A set of policies and rules might look like this:
+
+Policy 1:
+- Rule: 100 -> 200
+- Rule: 101 -> 201
+
+Policy 2:
+- Rule: 100 -> 300
