Want to add a localization?

• Install the L10N and App::Mi6 distributions
• Change into a directory in which you want your localization repository to live
• Run the command: new-localization XX Xerxes (where XX is the ISO 639-1 code for the language, and Xerxes is the name of the language in English)
• Change into the newly created directory
• Start editing the XX.l10n file (where XX is the ISO 639-1 code for the language)
• When done, run the "update-localization" command
• Install the repository locally with: zef install . --force
• Start testing your localized code with "xerku" (instead of "raku"), where the first three letters are of the language that you specified)
• Update to github or other online service as appropriate
