+### Translations
+
+All strings must be encased in i18n translations. New translation strings must be specified in `src`->`Locale`->`en`. Do not add translations for languages other than english through pull requests. Other language translations can be contributed through [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/ohccarefe)

+## Adding a new language
- Open the Terminal and `cd` to `care_fe/src/Locale`
- Run the command `node update_locale.js `
Eg: `node update_locale.js ml` for Malayalam
-- The command will create a directory with default locale files and you can start translating them.
+- The command will create a directory with default locale files.
- After it's done, add the new language to `care_fe/src/Locale/config.ts` file.

-- Open the Terminal and `cd` to `care_fe/src/Locale`

## Note
-⚠ - If you are adding a new word, then please add it to the Default Locale (EN) first and then proceed with your language.
-
-⚠ - After translating, have a look at its appearance. It may be overflowing or cause some UI breaks. Try to adjust the words such that it fits the UI.
-
⚠ - Try to separate the translation files for each module like `Facility`, `Patient` and more. Don't dump all the keys in one JSON file.
