We use English as the default language. The i18n files are organized by language and then by module. For example, the English translation for the `app` module is in `en-US/app.ts`.

If you want to add a new language or modify an existing translation, you can create a new file for the language or modify the existing file. The file name should be the language code (e.g., `zh-CN` for Chinese) and the file extension should be `.ts`.

For example, if you want to add french translation, you can create a new folder `fr-FR` and add the translation files in it.

By default we will use `LanguagesSupported` to determine which languages are supported. For example, in login page and settings page, we will use `LanguagesSupported` to determine which languages are supported and display them in the language selection dropdown.

## Example

1. Create a new folder for the new language.

```
cp -r en-US fr-FR
```

2. Modify the translation files in the new folder.

3. Add type to new language in the `language.ts` file.

```typescript
export type I18nText = {
  'en-US': string
  'zh-Hans': string
  'pt-BR': string
  'es-ES': string
  'fr-FR': string
  'de-DE': string
  'ja-JP': string
  'ko-KR': string
  'ru-RU': string
  'it-IT': string
  'uk-UA': string
  'YOUR_LANGUAGE_CODE': string
}
```

4. Add the new language to the `language.json` file.

```typescript

export const languages = [
  {
    value: 'en-US',
    name: 'English(United States)',
    example: 'Hello, Dify!',
    supported: true,
  },
  {
    value: 'zh-Hans',
    name: '简体中文',
    example: '你好，Dify！',
    supported: true,
  },
  {
    value: 'pt-BR',
    name: 'Português(Brasil)',
    example: 'Olá, Dify!',
    supported: true,
  },
  {
    value: 'es-ES',
    name: 'Español(España)',
    example: 'Saluton, Dify!',
    supported: false,
  },
  {
    value: 'fr-FR',
    name: 'Français(France)',
    example: 'Bonjour, Dify!',
    supported: false,
  },
  {
    value: 'de-DE',
    name: 'Deutsch(Deutschland)',
    example: 'Hallo, Dify!',
    supported: false,
  },
  {
    value: 'ja-JP',
    name: '日本語(日本)',
    example: 'こんにちは、Dify!',
    supported: false,
  },
  {
    value: 'ko-KR',
    name: '한국어(대한민국)',
    example: '안녕, Dify!',
    supported: true,
  },
  {
    value: 'ru-RU',
    name: 'Русский(Россия)',
    example: ' Привет, Dify!',
    supported: false,
  },
  {
    value: 'it-IT',
    name: 'Italiano(Italia)',
    example: 'Ciao, Dify!',
    supported: false,
  },
  {
    value: 'th-TH',
    name: 'ไทย(ประเทศไทย)',
    example: 'สวัสดี Dify!',
    supported: false,
  },
  {
    value: 'id-ID',
    name: 'Bahasa Indonesia',
    example: 'Saluto, Dify!',
    supported: false,
  },
  {
    value: 'uk-UA',
    name: 'Українська(Україна)',
    example: 'Привет, Dify!',
    supported: true,
  },
  // Add your language here 👇
  ...
  // Add your language here 👆
]
```

5. Don't forget to mark the supported field as `true` if the language is supported.

6. Sometime you might need to do some changes in the server side. Please change this file as well. 👇

## Clean Up

That's it! You have successfully added a new language to the project. If you want to remove a language, you can simply delete the folder and remove the language from the `language.ts` file.

We have a list of languages that we support in the `language.ts` file. But some of them are not supported yet. So, they are marked as `false`. If you want to support a language, you can follow the steps above and mark the supported field as `true`.
