# App Translations
|
|
|
|
> The platform supports internationalization across the entire App. Many languages are currently supported, with more
|
|
> being added all the time. Anyone can add or refine any languages through the integration with CrowdIn.
|
|
|
|
## Crowdin
|
|
|
|
Our [Crowdin](https://locales.directus.io/) page provides an external interface for managing all of the different
|
|
language translations for the App. You can update and extend existing languages, or request a new language be added.
|
|
|
|
## Working with Existing Languages
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to [Crowdin](https://locales.directus.io/)
|
|
2. Click on the desired language
|
|
3. Click **Translate All** in the header
|
|
4. Log in to Crowdin, or register an account as needed
|
|
5. Select a source string using the left-hand navigation
|
|
6. Add or edit the translation in the lower text area
|
|
7. Click "SAVE" below the translation
|
|
|
|
::: warning Character Length
|
|
|
|
It is important to keep the character length approximately the same as the source string (English) to avoid truncation
|
|
or a drastically different wrapping. For example, some text translations will go in a smaller button with limited space
|
|
for text and no ability to wrap.
|
|

|
::: warning Suggestions
|
|
|
|
Crowdin provides useful TM and MT suggestions, however you should always confirm that these are context appropriate, as
|
|
they may not accurately map to the source meaning.
|
|

|
|
|
|
::: tip Request Additional Context
|
|
|
|
If you feel you do not have enough information on how this string is used, you can always ask for additional context
|
|
using the "Comment" section.
