title: Translation
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Translation in authentik is done in two places. Most of the text is defined in the frontend in `web/`, and a subset of messages is defined in the backend.
|
||||
|
||||
The frontend uses [lingui](https://lingui.js.org/), and the backend uses the built-in django translation tools.
|
||||
|
||||
## Frontend
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to translate the frontend to a new language, ensure the language code is in the `package.json` file in `web/`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
// [...]
|
||||
"lingui": {
|
||||
// [...]
|
||||
"locales": [
|
||||
"en",
|
||||
"pseudo-LOCALE",
|
||||
"a-new-locale"
|
||||
],
|
||||
// [...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Afterwards, run `npx lingui extract` to generate a base .po file.
|
||||
|
||||
The .po files can be edited by any text editor, or using a tool such as [POEdit](https://poedit.net/).
|
||||
|
||||
To see the change, run `npm run watch` in the `web/` directory.
