### Adding a new language
Adding a new language is very easy, especially with translating tools like large language models (ChatGPT, etc.) which you can use as first draft.
- Add the language to the LOCALES dictionary in [constants.ts](../common/src/constants.ts) (the key is the locale code, the value is the original language name (not in English)).
- Duplicate [fr.json](../web/messages/fr.json) and rename it to the locale code (e.g., `de.json` for German). Translate all the strings in the new file.
- Duplicate the [fr](../web/public/md/fr) folder and rename it to the locale code (e.g., `de` for German). Translate all the markdown files in the new folder.
That's all, no code needed!
