7 | | To test your translations, you must place your PO files in the right `l10n` folders, such as `binaries/data/l10n/` for the engine PO file and `binaries/data/mods/public/l10n/` for the PO file of the main mod. Your PO files should follow the naming convention ‘<locale code>.<mod name>.po’ (‘engine’ being the mod name for the engine), but as long as the prefix is ‘<locale code>.’ (e.g. ‘de.’ or ‘en_GB.’), it should work. |

| 9 | New language requests have to be approved by the WFG team. As we prefer to avoid duplicate work, new languages are only accepted when they differ from existing languages. F.e. standard Polish is assumed to come from Poland, so we don't accept the language "pl_PL" to be added, as it would just be a duplicate of "pl". On the other hand, there are big differences between the Portuguese in Brazil vs Portugal, so we allow the "pt_BR" language. If we denied your language, and you believe it's different from the non nation-specific language, please contact us with some proof your language is different. |

| 13 | It's important to test translations in game, as it might reveal some wrong translations. Note that right-to-left scripts aren't supported yet, and some languages might need additional fonts. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Translations are pulled regularly from Transifex, you can check rather recent translation work when you use the development version of the game. See [[BuildInstructions]] for more info. |

| 17 | To test even more recent translations under the development version, you must place your PO files in the right `l10n` folders, such as `binaries/data/l10n/` for the engine PO file and `binaries/data/mods/public/l10n/` for the PO file of the main mod. Your PO files should follow the naming convention ‘<locale code>.<mod name>.po’ (‘engine’ being the mod name for the engine), but as long as the prefix is ‘<locale code>.’ (e.g. ‘de.’ or ‘en_GB.’), it should work. |
