Click on the “Add” button once you’re done.

Edit a language

If you’ve noticed, there are two “Edit” buttons on the form.

The first button is for editing the translations of that language.

Since English is the default language, the newly created language will contain English translations.

To edit the translations, click on the first “Edit” button.

As you can see, the translations are still in English.

To edit it, simply click on the field and write down the translation.
