## Add it on Weblate and translate it
NewPipe is translated with [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/newpipe/strings/).
1. Login to Weblate (you can use your GitHub account).
2. Add a new language with [tool -> start new translation](https://hosted.weblate.org/new-lang/newpipe/strings/).
3. Translate NewPipe.
## Add it to the language selector
The language selector is available via `Settings -> Content -> App language`. It allows to change NewPipe's language *without changing the system's language* (it's the default android behaviour).
1. Add the [language code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_code) [in the language code array in this file](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/blob/dev/app/src/main/res/values/settings_keys.xml#L963). You must respect the alphabetic order. You can find the language code with Weblate: click on a language to translate, and the language code is in the last part of the url. For example, English is `https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/newpipe/strings/en`, and English language code is `en`.
2. Add the language name [in the language name array in this file](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/blob/dev/app/src/main/res/values/settings_keys.xml#L1028). It must be placed at the same index as language code. For instance,`en` is the 13th on the language code array, hence it's the 13th on the language name array.
3. Open a pull request on GitHub.
