### 🌐 Translations and Internationalization
Help us make Open WebUI available to a wider audience. In this section, we'll guide you through the process of adding new translations to the project.
We use JSON files to store translations. You can find the existing translation files in the `src/lib/i18n/locales` directory. Each directory corresponds to a specific language, for example, `en` for English, `fr` for French and so on. You can refer to [ISO 639 Language Codes][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes] to find the appropriate code for a specific language.
To add a new language:
- Create a new directory in the `src/lib/i18n/locales` path with the appropriate language code as its name. For instance, if you're adding translations for Spanish, create a new directory named `es`.
- Copy the English translation file(s) (from `en` directory in `src/lib/i18n/locale`) to this new directory and update the string values in JSON format according to your language. Make sure to preserve the structure of the JSON object.
