## Translating
iloader needs localization! If you speak another language and notice iloader does not support it or has mistakes, please consider contributing.
To update/edit an existing language, make a PR modifying `src/locales/.json`.
To add a new language, add your language to `src/i18next.ts`, and in `src/locales` copy `en.json` to a new file titled `.json` and update the strings.
**i18next.ts:**
```ts
const languages = [
["en", "English"],
["es", "Español"],
// Your language here...
] as const;
```
You can also add your name to the translators section of the README.
Thank you for translating!
