Translation files are located in the .chainlit/translations directory. The files are named after the language code, e.g. en-US.json for English (United States).

The language is dynamically set for each user based on the language of the browser. The default language is en-US.

​
Adding a new language

To add a new language, create a new file in the .chainlit/translations directory with the language code as the filename. The language code should be in the format of languageCode-COUNTRYCODE, e.g. en-US for English (United States) or en-GB for English (United Kingdom).

​
Lint translations

To lint the translations, run the following command:

chainlit lint-translations

​
Translate chainlit.md file

You can define multiple translations for the chainlit.md file. For instance chainlit_pt-BR.md for Portuguese (Brazil) and chainlit_es-ES.md for Spanish (Spain). The file will be loaded based on the browser’s language, defaulting to chainlit.md if no translation is available.

​
Resetting

To reset the the translations, remove the .chainlit/translations directory and restart your Chainlit application:

chainlit run my-app.py
