  3. Now you have to find out the language-code for your language - you can search for your language-code in the IANA Language Subtag Registry.
  4. Go into the /locale directory (located in the LimeSurvey root directory) and create a directory named after your language code.
  5. Download your language template by going to on the following link [1]. Select the project, then any language (e.g. go for the English entry), and scroll to the bottom. There you have the possibility to export the language file as <your_language_code>.po file.
  6. Copy the <your_language_code>.po file to the newly created folder located in the /locale directory.
  7. Open the file with Poedit and translate everything you need to translate.
  8. To make LimeSurvey know about your language, you must add it in application/helpers/surveytranslator_helper.php (located in the LimeSurvey root directory). Open that file with a text editor and add your language in the same way the other languages are defined in that file.
