- If you wish to help with a translation, copy the
package/translate/template.potfile and change the name to your locale's code (e.g. en, de, fr, etc.) and the extension to.po. Then just add your translation in themsgstrfield. For more information you can look at https://zren.github.io/kde/docs/widget/#translations-i18n.
