How to contribute

Updating a translation

• Update the translation value
• Run one of the following:

  yarn build
  // or
  npm build
  // or
  pnpm build
  

Adding a new translation

• Add the new translation key/value pair for all languages located in the <payload-repo-root>/packages/translations/src/languages folder
• Run one of the following:

  yarn build
  // or
  npm build
  // or
  pnpm build
  

Adding a new language

• Create a new TS file in the <payload-repo-root>/packages/translations/src/languages folder, use the language code as the file name (e.g. <payload-repo-root>/packages/translations/src/languages/en.ts for English)
• Copy all translations from an existing language file and update all of the translations to match your new language. Make sure the translation object containing all the translations is type DefaultTranslationsObject.
• Run one of the following:

  yarn build
  // or
  npm build
  // or
  pnpm build
  

• Import and export your new language file from within <payload-repo-root>/packages/translations/src/exports/all.ts
• Re-export the file from within <payload-repo-root>/packages/payload/src/exports/i18n/[your-new-language].ts
