# Languages

To translate your site into another language, make a copy of the default en.json file found in the lang folder and modify it as needed.

- The JSON language file must use an ISO code, e.g. `es.json`, `ro.json`, or `en.json`.
- If you need to overwrite validation messages or other library strings, copy the `en` folder (and its files) and rename it to your new language code.

Notes<br />
• While not strictly required, installing the `php-intl` extension can improve localization and help prevent issues with custom or uncommon languages.<br />
• If the language file json file syntax is incorrect, it might render into 500 error over the website. You can check if it's valid using a JSON validator - [sample one](https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/).
