+# Adding language support for new language
+
+You are encouraged to translate (or improve the translation of) Wekan in your
+locale language. For that purpose we rely on
+[Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/wekan). So the first step is to
+create a Transifex account if you don’t have one already. You can then send a
+request to join one of the translation teams. If there we will create a new one.
+
+Once you are in a team you can start translating the application. Please take a
+look at the glossary so you can agree with other (present and future)
+contributors on words to use to translate key concepts in the application like
+“boards” and “cards”.
+
+# Supporting automatic translation when adding new features
+
+The original application is written in English, and if you want to contribute to
+the application itself, you are asked to fill the `i18n/en.i18n.json` file with your new phrases.

+
+When you do that the new strings of text to translate automatically appears on
+Transifex to be translated (the refresh may take a few hours).
+
+Then in your JADE files, use the string like so:
+
+`h3.card-details-item-title {{_ 'members'}}`
+
+We pull all translations from Transifex before every new Wekan release
+candidate, ask the translators to review the app, and pull all translations
+again for the final release.
