# Intllib translator documentation

#### New interface

Use your favorite tools to edit the `.po` files.

#### Old interface

To translate an intllib-supporting mod to your desired language, copy the
`locale/template.txt` file to `locale/LANGUAGE.txt` (where `LANGUAGE` is the
[ISO 639-1 Language Code][ISO639-1] of your language.

Open up the new file in your favorite editor, and translate each line putting
the translated text after the equals sign.

See `localefile.md` for more information about the file format.
