# Add translation

We are using gettext for the Vaas. To add a new translation do the following steps:

1. Be sure you are in the apps/vaas_web folder and execute the following command:

mix gettext.extract

2. This will create a new default.pot file in apps/vaas_web/priv/gettext. To create a new locale folder, use the following command (we use fr in this example):

mix gettext.merge priv/gettext --locale fr

3. Add translations to the newly generated default.po and you are done!
