# How to Add Language Support
|
|
|
|
To add support for a new language in our internationalization setup using `react-i18next` and `i18next`, please follow the steps below:
|
|
|
|
## Create a Language JSON File
|
|
|
|
First, create a new JSON file for the language you want to add in the `openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/locale/languages` directory.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to add support for the `French` language, you can create a file called `fr-fr.json` in the languages directory:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Navigate to the ui/src/locale/languages directory
|
|
cd openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/locale/languages
|
|
|
|
# Create the French language file
|
|
touch fr-fr.json
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Sync the Language File with the Primary Language
|
|
|
|
To ensure consistency with our primary language, which is `en-us`, it is necessary to synchronize any newly added language files. This can be done by copying the content from the `en-us.json` file and translating it accordingly.
|
|
|
|
To copy the contents of en-us.json and add it to your translation JSON file, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
- Go to [en-us.json](https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/blob/main/openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/src/locale/languages/en-us.json)
|
|
- Copy the content of file
|
|
- Open your translation JSON file.
|
|
- Paste the copied text into your translation JSON file.
|
