Internationalization (i18n)

listmonk comes available in multiple languages thanks to language packs contributed by volunteers. A language pack is a JSON file with a map of keys and corresponding translations. The bundled languages can be viewed here.

Additional language packs

These additional language packs can be downloaded and passed to listmonk with the --i18n-dir flag as described in the next section.

Customizing languages

To customize an existing language or to load a new language, put one or more .json language files in a directory, and pass the directory path to listmonk with the
--i18n-dir=/path/to/dir flag.

Contributing a new language

• Visit https://listmonk.app/i18n
• To make changes to an existing language, use the "Load language" option on the top right.
• To create a new language, use the "Load language" option on the top right and select "Default".
• Translate the text in the input fields on the UI.
• Once done, use the Switch to raw JSON and copy the JSON data and save it to a file named xx.json, where xx is the two letter code of the language.
• Send a pull request to add the file to the i18n directory on the GitHub repo. If you are not familiar with pull requests, share the file by creating a new "issue" (comment) on the GitHub issues page
