+### 🌐 Translations and Internationalization
+
+Help us make Open WebUI available to a wider audience. In this section, we'll guide you through the process of adding new translations to the project.
+
+We use JSON files to store translations. You can find the existing translation files in the `src/lib/i18n/locales` directory. Each directory corresponds to a specific language, for example, `en` for English, `fr` for French and so on. You can refer to [ISO 639 Language Codes][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes] to find the appropriate code for a specific language.
+
+To add a new language:
+- Create a new directory in the `src/lib/i18n/locales` path with the appropriate language code as its name. For instance, if you're adding translations for Spanish, create a new directory named `es`.
+- Copy the English translation file(s) (from `en` directory in `src/lib/i18n/locale`) to this new directory and update the string values in JSON format according to your language. Make sure to preserve the structure of the JSON object.
