| 25 | 25 | Dan Smith | ### New Languages |
| 26 | |||
| 27 | 8 | Dan Smith | If you want to help translate CHIRP into another language, please follow these steps: |
| 28 | 19 | Dan Smith | |
| 29 | 1 | Dan Smith | 1. Create a [new issue](http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/issues/new) for the language and include the language code. Here is a [helpful list](http://www.science.co.il/Language/Codes.asp). |
| 30 | 25 | Dan Smith | 1. Someone will create an empty template `.po` file and attach it to your issue |
| 31 | 19 | Dan Smith | 1. Translate the file. Generally, [poedit](http://poedit.net/) is the best way to do this. Be sure to fill out the translator meta-details. |
| 32 | 25 | Dan Smith | 1. Attach the resulting translated `.po` file to the ticket |
| 33 | 1 | Dan Smith | 1. A developer will check it over and then submit it for inclusion |
| 34 | 25 | Dan Smith | |
| 35 | ### Updating an existing language |
||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | If you want to update a translation, grab the latest from [the repo](https://github.com/kk7ds/chirp/tree/master/chirp/locale), update it and attach it to an issue for a developer to include. Use [poedit](http://poedit.net/) to update the translations |
