An easy way to start your translation is to first duplicate `app/_locales/en/messages.json` (the english translation), and then update the `message` key for each in-app message. + +That's it! When MetaMask is loaded on a computer with that language set as the system language, they will see your translation instead of the default one. + +## Testing + +To automatically see if you are missing any phrases to translate, we have a script you can run (if you know how to use the command line). The script is: + +``` +node development/verify-locale-strings.js $YOUR_LOCALE +``` + +Where `$YOUR_LOCALE` is your [locale string](https://r12a.github.io/app-subtags/), i.e. the name of your language folder. + +To verify that your translation works in the app, you will need to [build a local copy](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension#building-locally) of MetaMask. You will need to change your browser language, your operating system language, and restart your browser (sorry it's so much work!). + |
