<p>If you are familiar with using git, I’d prefer if you follow the Pull
Request process

<div class="section" id="adding-a-new-language">
<h2>Adding a new language<a class="headerlink" href="#adding-a-new-language" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Languages translations are available
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja/tree/master/www/lang">here</a></li>
<li>To contribute a new language, add a new <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">locale-xx.json</span></code> (where
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">xx</span></code> is your language code).</li>
<li>Ideally, you should also provide a language translation for the
zmNinja help file inside
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja/tree/master/www/lang/help">lang/help</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The best way is to simply look at an existing language translation and
follow the same model for yours. If any language translation keywords
are missed, it will fallback to English.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="main-language-file">
<h2>Main Language file<a class="headerlink" href="#main-language-file" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Make sure there is no comma after the last element</li>
<li>Comments are not allowed</li>
<li>Make sure you don’t add ellipsis “…” anywhere, they are added to
messages in code when needed</li>
<li>After you complete the translation file, do the following:</li>
</ul>
<p>(replace <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-it</span></code> with the language you are working on)</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python</span> <span class="pre">./checklang.py</span> <span class="pre">-f</span> <span class="pre">locale-it.json</span> <span class="pre">-b</span></code></p>
<p>This validates your JSON file, makes sure all keys are in sync with -en
and if valid, creates pretty-locale-it.json. If you are sure it looks
good,</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python</span> <span class="pre">./checklang.py</span> <span class="pre">-f</span> <span class="pre">locale-it.json</span> <span class="pre">-b</span> <span class="pre">-o</span></code></p>
<p>This validates your JSON file,makes sure all keys are in sync with -en
and if valid, OVERWRITES your local file with a pretty formatted
version, which is what you should PR</p>

<ul class="simple">
<li>Modify languages array in NVR.js (look for <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">var</span> <span class="pre">languages</span></code>)</li>
