# How to take a part in NorrCompetition localisation

NorrCompetition translations are maintained collaboratively using online localization platforms and repository language files.

## Contributing Translations

Translations for NorrCompetition and its ecosystem of plugins and modules can be contributed through **Transifex**:

* [NorrCompetition on Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/norrnext/norrcompetition/)

Transifex allows translators to translate strings online without needing to edit INI files directly or manage code repositories. Once translations reach completion, new language packs are generated and packaged for the community.

## Language File Standards

For developers and contributors submitting direct language pull requests:

* Language files are standard Joomla UTF-8 `.ini` format without BOM.
* Admin language keys reside in `admin/language/<tag>/` and frontend keys in `site/language/<tag>/`.
* Key-value pairs follow standard Joomla conventions (`KEY="Translation string"`).

If you are interested in becoming a language maintainer for a new language, please join the project on Transifex or contact the NorrNext team.
