Adding a translation

• Fork the repo

• Make sure that you have Hugo installed:

  • On macOS: brew install hugo
  • On most Linux distros: snap install hugo
  • See here for more options

• Create an empty markdown file called _index.<COUNTRY_CODE>.md in the content directory

• Write your translation there. Be sure to copy the structure of the English version at index.md, including all the special codes.

• Add an entry to config.toml with your language information under the [Languages] tag. For example, for Swedish, you would enter:

  [Languages.se]
  languageName = "Swedish"
  languageCode = "se"
  

• Start the hugo server: hugo server -D

• Navigate to http://localhost:1313/LANGUAGE_CODE/ and you should see your translation

• Open a pull request

• I will find another native speaker to look over the translation you made, and then it will be merged!
