# HOW TO CHANGE LOCALES

## SETTING THE LANGUAGE IN OUR SCRIPTS

**TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE, OPEN `SETTINGS.LUA` AND UPDATE THE `Settings.Locale` OPTION.**\
**YOU CAN FIND A LIST OF AVAILABLE TRANSLATIONS INSIDE THE `LOCALES` FOLDER.**

**THE NAME OF THE FILE (WITHOUT THE `.LUA` EXTENSION) IS THE VALUE YOU SHOULD SET `Settings.Locale` TO.**\
**FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE IS A LOCALE FILE CALLED `DE.LUA`, UPDATE THE CONFIG TO:**

```lua
Settings.Locale = "de"
```

***

## GUIDELINES

1. **THE LOCALE FILE MUST BE NAMED USING THE LANGUAGE CODE AND HAVE A `.LUA` EXTENSION.**\
   **EXAMPLES: `EN.LUA`, `FR.LUA`, `DE.LUA`, ETC.**
2. **WHEN CREATING A NEW LOCALE FILE, COPY AN EXISTING ONE (ENGLISH IS RECOMMENDED) AND REPLACE THE TRANSLATIONS ACCORDINGLY.**
3. **THE START OF THE FILE MUST KEEP THE VARIABLE DECLARATION, AND YOU MUST REPLACE THE EXISTING LANGUAGE CODE TO MATCH THE FILE NAME.**
