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, 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/:

    // [...]
    "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.

To see the change, run npm run watch in the web/ directory.
