# Translate EE to your local language

## Download language files

You can download EE language files after login as global admin:

1. Click the language icon on top-left page
2. Click the small cloud icon to download all translation files in a zip package.

## How to translate:

- Unzip the downloaded zip file.
- Copy `en_US.json` to a new file named in your local language code. e.g. `de_DE.json`.
- Translate the copied `de_DE.json` file.

## How to test your translation

- Upload translated JSON file to directory `/opt/iredmail/conf/locales/` on iRedMail server.
- Make sure it's owned by correct user/group, then restart `iredmail` service to load it:

    chown iredweb:iredweb /opt/iredmail/conf/locales/*.json
    chmod 0555 /opt/iredmail/conf/locales/*.json
    systemctl restart iredmail

- Login to EE web ui as global admin, domain admin, and end user, check around and verify your translation.

Do not forget to send your translation to iRedMail team, so that others can benefit from it. :)
