# How to translate Hawn

This page is dedicated to all those who don't understand how to translate Hawn

Hawn can be translated into any language you want, and this tutorial will help you create your own language.

### 1 - Create a new language folder

Although you can directly translate the plugin with already existing files. This can be very advantageous if you want to go back in case of a problem with your current attempt. Indeed, it only takes a simple modification in the main configuration file for all the message files to come back as before, so I **recommend** you to follow this step.

First, you have to open the plugin folder `Hawn`, and then open the file `general.yml`.\
In this file you can see the last line of the file (which is by default):

```yaml
Language-Type: en_US
```

In a second step you have to change `en_US` to what you want!\
Save the file. If your server is not on, open it, if he is already open, restart it.

Once this is done, you will see a new folder in the `messages` folder of the plugin folder, which will have the name you typed above.

### 2 - Edit messages

You have different files in the new folder you created. There's not much more to tell, edit them as much as you want.
