## Force language
The default language of the web admin depends on your browser language.
You can force a language by using (e.g. for French):
```
/vpnadmin/?/lang/fr
```
English is the default language when the browser language is not available.
## Update the default string list
Updating the pot file from template files:
```
xgettext sources/views/* -o sources/i18n/localization.pot
```
## Add a new language
Create a new directory path (e.g. for French):
```
mkdir -p sources/i18n/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/
```
Generate the po file:
```
msginit --locale=fr_FR.UTF-8 --no-translator -i sources/i18n/localization.pot -o sources/i18n/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/localization.po
```
You can use poedit for translating the po:
```
poedit sources/i18n/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/localization.po
```
With poedit, just save your modifications with the button and the *localization.mo* (compiled version of the po) file will automatically be created or updated.
If you edited the po by hand, you have to compile the mo file:
```
msgfmt sources/i18n/fr_FR/localization.po -o sources/i18n/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/localization.mo
```
Change the default language of your browser, and test this new translation.
You should add the locale to the list at the end of *sources/controller.php*.
