Complete Step-by-Step Tutorial

Step 1: Create a Fork 🍴

1. Visit the main repository: Go to KB-GModStore/gmodstore-languages
2. Click the "Fork" button in the top-right corner of the page
3. Select your account as the destination for the fork
4. Wait for the fork creation - GitHub will create your personal copy
5. You're now on your fork! The URL should be https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/gmodstore-languages

Step 2: Navigate to the Language Files 📁

1. Browse the addon folders - each addon has its own directory
2. Find your target addon (e.g., realistic_cardealer/, zeros_bloodlab/)
3. Enter the language subfolder:
   • Usually languages/ or [addon_name]_languages/
   • Example: realistic_cardealer/realistic_cardealer/languages/

Repository structure examples:

realistic_cardealer/
└── realistic_cardealer/
    └── languages/
        ├── sh_language_en.lua  ← English (reference)
        ├── sh_language_fr.lua  ← French
        ├── sh_language_de.lua  ← German
        └── ...

zeros_bloodlab/
└── zbl_languages/
    ├── sh_zbl_language_en.lua  ← English (reference)
    ├── sh_zbl_language_fr.lua  ← French
    └── ...

Step 3: Choose Your Action 🎯

Option A: Fix an Existing Language

1. Click on the language file you want to fix (e.g., sh_language_fr.lua)
2. Click the ✏️ (pencil) icon to edit the file
3. Make your corrections directly in the web editor
4. Example correction:

   // Before (typo)
   ["enterDealerName"] = "Entrer le nom du concessionaire",
   
   // After (fixed)
   ["enterDealerName"] = "Entrer le nom du concessionnaire",

Option B: Add a New Language

1. First, open the English reference file (usually sh_language_en.lua)
2. Copy all the content (Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C)
3. Go back to the languages folder
4. Click "Add file" → "Create new file"
5. Name your file: Use the pattern sh_language_XX.lua (replace XX with your language code)
   • Examples: sh_language_de.lua, sh_zbl_language_es.lua
6. Paste the English content (Ctrl+V)
7. Translate each line to your language

Translation example:

// English reference
RCD.Language["en"] = {
    ["undefined"] = "undefined",
    ["groups"] = "GROUPS",
    ["vehicles"] = "VEHICLES",
}

// German translation
RCD.Language["de"] = {
    ["undefined"] = "undefiniert",
    ["groups"] = "GRUPPEN", 
    ["vehicles"] = "FAHRZEUGE",
}
