 ==== Adding a New Language ====
-  - Create a new language file as described [[#formatting language files|above]] and put it in the languages directory (either in the root of VuFind if you are planning to commit the new language to the master branch, or inside your [[configuration:local_settings_directory|local settings directory]] if this is a local customization).

 ==== Customizing Language Files ====
-If you need to customize the language files residing in VUFIND_HOME/languages but do not want to commit this customization to the master branch, you only need to create a languages folder in your local folder (or any folder that is configured as your VUFIND_LOCAL_DIR). Any language file in your VUFIND_LOCAL_DIR/languages folder will be merged with its corresponding language file in VUFIND_HOME/languages (implicit inheritance).

 Starting with VuFind 2.5, you can also put a languages directory inside a [[development:architecture:user_interface|theme]] folder to apply custom translations to that specific theme. This can be useful, for example, to use shorter strings in a mobile interface than a desktop version.
