Hi @dodog,

To add the Slovak language, we first need to create a JavaScript file for it, similar to what's available in Assets > TinyMCE > langs. This folder contains the language options for desktop, mobile, and terminal applications. Once we have the translations from English to Slovak, we can then add the respective Slovak file in:

packages/app-desktop/locales/index.js
packages/app-mobile/locales/index.js

I believe this approach would work. @laurent22, could you please provide further guidance on this? I'd be happy to contribute and work on this issue.

Thanks!

Hi @vidipsingh, I translated Joplin into Slovak about a month ago and the sk_SK.po file is already in /packages/tools/locales/. I didn't know it is necessary to do some other things to add Slovak. The @laurent22 said it should run after the po file is added. But when I look at the files mentioned, it really looks like Slovak needs to be added there as well.
