# Translations

## Overview

Apart from translating the game contents, Monogatari's UI can also be translated to multiple languages. If you are someone who knows a language different from English, your help on translating the project is more than welcome!

## Getting started

The file containing all the translations is found at `js/strings.js`. In it, you'll find multiple JSON objects describing the translations for each string on its own language. 

{% code title="strings.js" %}

```javascript
"English": {
		"AdvanceHelp": "To advance through the game, press the space key or click.",
		"Audio": "Audio",
		"AutoPlay": "Auto",
		"AutoPlaySpeed": "Autoplay Speed",

		"Back": "Back",
		"BackButton": "Back.",

		"Cancel": "Cancel",
		"Close": "Close",
		"Confirm": "Do you want to quit?",

		"FullScreen": "Full Screen",

		"Help": "Help",

},
```

{% endcode %}
