 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!
