You can install it via https://extensions.gnome.org. Alternatively (or if you want an up-to-date version), download tiling-assistant@leleat-on-github and move it to your extensions folder. Local extensions are in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/. After moving the folder to the correct location, restart the GNOME shell (Alt+F2 -> enter r. On Wayland you need to logout).
Translations (even just partial ones) are very welcome!
If you are already familiar with how it works, feel free to directly open a pull request with a YOUR_LANG.po file at tiling-assistant@leleat-on-github/po/.
Don't worry, in case you don't know how to create a .po file. Just open an issue and I'll set everything up. You'll only need a text editor and your language skills :)
