There are comments indicating what to modify in three places:
```javascript
define(['/customize/languageSelector.js',
'/customize/translations/messages.js',
'/customize/translations/messages.es.js',
'/customize/translations/messages.fr.js',

var getStoredLanguage = function () { return localStorage.getItem(LS_LANG); };

We need to modify these three places to include our file:
We need to modify that map to include our translation:
```javascript

'/customize/translations/messages.fr.js',
// 1) additional translation files can be added here...
'/customize/translations/messages.pirate.js', // add our module via its path
'/bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js'],
// 2) name your language module here...
function(LS, Default, Spanish, French, Pirate) { // name our module 'Pirate' for use as a variable
var $ = window.jQuery;
// 3) add your module to this map so it gets used
var map = {
'fr': French,
'es': Spanish,
'pirate': Pirate, // add our module to the map of languages

var LS_LANG = "CRYPTPAD_LANG";

var getLanguage = function () { return getStoredLanguage() || getBrowserLanguage(); };
var language = getLanguage();
// add your module to this map so it gets used

var map = {
'fr': 'Français',
'es': 'Español',

'pirate': 'English Pirate', // add our module to the map of languages
};
```
Note that the path to the file is `/customize/translations/`, not `/customize.dist/translations`.
Cryptpad's server is configured to search for files in `/customize/` first.
If a file is not found, it falls back to `/customize.dist/`.
This allows administrators of a Cryptpad installation to override the default behaviour with their own files.
We want translations to be the default behaviour, so we'll place it in `/customize.dist/translations/`, but resolve it via `/customize/translations/`.
The second and third steps are simpler.
Just add your module in a similar fashion to the existing translations, save your changes, and close `/customize.dist/messages.js`.
That's all!
## Actually translating content
Now we can go back to our file, `/customize.dist/translations/messages.pirate.js` and start to add our Pirate-language customizations.

It's important that you modify just the string, and not the variable name which is used to access its content.

Additionally, we advise using the apps and visiting the various pages, to make sure that your translations make sense in context.
When you're happy with your translation file, you can visit http://localhost:3000/assert/ to view Cryptpad's tests.
Among other things, these tests will check to make sure that your translation has an entry for every entry in the default English translation.
