To update/edit an existing language, make a PR modifying src/locales/<lang>.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 <langcode>.json and update the strings.
i18next.ts:
export const languages = [
["en", "English"],
["es", "Español"],
// Your language here...
] as const;Thank you for translating!
