The translation of the Home Assistant frontend is still a work in progress. More phrases will be available soon.
## {% linkable_title How to start %}
[Join the translation team](https://lokalise.co/signup/3420425759f6d6d241f598.13594006/all/) and choose your language. Even if your language is completely translated, extra proofreading is a big help! Please feel free to review the existing translations, and vote for alternatives that might be more appropriate.

[Join the translation team](https://lokalise.co/signup/3420425759f6d6d241f598.13594006/all/) and choose your language. If your language is not listed you can request it at [GitHub](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/issues/new). Please provide both the English name and the native name for your language. Example: German / Deutsch.
Note: Languages that differ from the language of the country of origin need a translation for the latter first. Example: `French as used in Canada` requires a generic `French` translation.
First time users may find it helpful to switch between multilanguage and single language view using the <img src='/images/frontend/lokalise-multilanguage-view-button.png' alt="Multilanguage view" style="width: 17px; border: none;"/> button. For more information about the translation workflow, please see the [Lokalise translation workflow documents](https://docs.lokalise.co/category/iOzEuQPS53-for-team-leads-and-translators).

### {% linkable_title Maintainer steps to add a new language %}
1. Language tags have to follow [BCP 47](https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47). A list of most language tags can be found here: [IANA sutbtag registry](http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry). Examples: `fr`, `fr-CA`, `zh-Hans`. Only include the country code if country specific overrides are being included, and the base language is already translated.
2. Add the language tag and native name in `src/translations/translationMetadata.json`. Examples: "Français", "Français (CA)"
3. Add the new language in Lokalize.
