- Good knowledge of the language (some terms may undergo significant changes during translation)
- A text editor is required. While options like Notepad or Notepad++ are available, it is recommended to use VSCode as it is more suitable for this task..
Fork the LibreChat repository and download it using git clone
-
Navigate to the
client\src\localization
folder and open theTranslation.tsx
file -
At the beginning of the code, add your language below all the others in this format:
import Language-name from './languages/** ';
Example (English):import English from './languages/Eng';
-
Further down in the code, add the following:
if (langCode === '**') return Language-name;
Replace "**" with the ISO 3166 Alpha-2 code of your language (in lowercase). Example (English):
if (langCode === 'en') return English;
If you don't know the ISO 3166 code for your language, check it here and also use it with an initial capital)
-
Go into the
client\src\localization\languages
folder and create a file named as follows:**.tsx
Example:
Eng.tsx
-
Copy all the content from
Eng.tsx
into your file and modify it as follows:// your-language-name phrases export default { com_ui_examples: 'Examples', // more translations here...
Translate only the part after the
:
. Example:// my-language phrases export default { com_ui_examples: 'This is a translated example', // Add more translations here };
⚠️ Do not modify thecom_...
part⚠️
Delete the Language list after
com_nav_setting_general: 'General',
near the bottom of the file (You do not need to translate the individual language names)
Open Eng.tsx
and add your language to the language list in the bottom of the document.
To add your language to the menu, open the file client\src\components\Nav\SettingsTabs\General.tsx
.
Add your language to the LangSelector
variable in the following way:
export const LangSelector = ({
//other code
<option value="en">{localize(lang, 'com_nav_lang_english')}</option>
//other languages...
<option value="**">{localize(lang, 'com_nav_lang_your-language-name')}</option>
</select>
</div>
);
};
Where **
is the ISO 3166 Alpha-2 code and com_nav_lang_your-language-name
stands for the name of your language.
Example: com_nav_lang_english
or com_nav_lang_italian
You should only need to add one line of code:
<option value="**">{localize(lang, 'com_nav_lang_your-language-name')}</option>
If you followed everything you should have one new file and 3 files with modifications:
new file: client/src/localization/languages/**.tsx <-----new language
modified: client/src/components/Nav/SettingsTabs/General.tsx
modified: client/src/localization/Translation.tsx
modified: client/src/localization/languages/Eng.tsx
