Editing existing translations and adding translations

Editing existing translations

Sometimes the translations can be improved to make them better understandable.

To edit existing language translations – go to resources/lang/{language_iso_code}/
Here you will find files almost grouped based on the pages. Edit the string you want to change and save it.
If you make improvements to the language file, please do share it with us. We will update the codebase so that it is useful to others too. Email: [email protected]

Create the language folder with the language code inside the lang folder(like the language code for Spanish is `es` )
Follow the path (/resources/lang/es).
Inside the newly created folder add the file which you have translated.
Follow the path(/resources/lang/es/messages.php) here `messages.php` is the file where you will keep all the new translations for that language(Spanish in this case).
Copy and paste value from `resources/lang/en/messages.php` file to google translation (Ex: ‘form_name’ => ‘Form Name’ [[here `Form Name` is the value & `form_name` is key]]).
And now copy the translated value from there and paste into the array present in the `/resources/lang/es/messages.php` file using the key => value pair.
ex: <?php
return [
‘success’ => ‘Éxito’,
<!– add key value pair of translation –>
];
NOTE: You can get the code for the languages from `/config/constants.php` file. Here the code is defined as keys inside the `langs` array.
ex: 'langs' => [
'en' => ['full_name' => 'English', 'short_name' => 'English']
