[Request]: I want to complete the missing translation content

[baisuMr]

Summary

I have found that the support for multiple languages is not very good, and there is a lack of translation for departmental content. I would like to complete the corresponding translation. How can I proceed? I didn't understand the official document clearly

Why is it needed?

For example, there are many places in the Chinese version that have not been translated

Thank you so much for taking the time to report this and for your willingness to help improve Strapi’s multilingual support! We truly appreciate community members like you who want to make Strapi better for everyone.

To contribute missing translations—such as for the Chinese locale—in the Strapi admin panel, you can extend or add translations directly in your project. Here’s how you can get started:

How to Add or Complete Admin Panel Translations

1. Enable the Locale in Your Project

   In your /src/admin/app.js (or .ts) file, add the desired locale (e.g., "zh") to the locales array:

   export default {
     config: {
       locales: ["zh"], // Add other locales as needed
     },
     bootstrap() {},
   };

   This makes the locale available in the admin panel interface.
   See the official guide

2. Extend or Override Translation Keys

   You can provide or override translations using the translations key in the same file. For example:

   export default {
     config: {
       locales: ["zh"],
       translations: {
         zh: {
           "Auth.form.email.label": "邮箱",
           Users: "用户",
           // Add more key-value pairs as needed
         },
       },
     },
     bootstrap() {},
   };

   See more examples here

3. Organize Large or New Translation Files

   If you want to provide a large number of translations or support a locale not bundled with Strapi, you can place additional JSON files in /src/admin/extensions/translations/. Make sure the locale code is listed in config.locales as above.

4. Find Translation Keys

   The full list of translation keys can be found in Strapi’s GitHub repository. This helps you know which keys are missing or incomplete.
