# Translations

To fully translate FileBird Document Library, you need to translate both of user interface and Gutenberg block.

### Method 1: Use Loco Translate to generate translation files

If your language is not yet supported, you can manually translate words by following this guide.

**Step 1.** Firstly, please install [Loco Translate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/) on a WordPress site. This plugin is to help you generate the required JSON files. And when you're done, you can just remove it from your site.

**Step 2.** Then go to Loco Translate > Plugins > FileBird Document Library and Add **New language**.

**Step 4.** Translate all strings and click **Save**!

**Step 5.** After that, please download all .po, .mo, .json files and put them in the "languages" folder of our plugin.

* To download **PO** and **MO** files, you can use the built-in options in Loco Translate.

* To download **JSON** files, you can use a secure file manager plugin like [Filester](https://wordpress.org/plugins/filester/).

When you add them to the **languages** folder of the FileBird Document Library plugin directory, please make sure you have 5 files: 1 .po, 1 .mo and 3 .json files. Please refer to the screenshot below.

### Method 3: Programmatically create a POT file&#x20;

If you don't want to use Loco Translate, you can opt for a developer-friendly workaround. Please [follow these developer resources to make POT](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/i18n/make-pot/).

### Method 3: Request live translate feature

**Live translate** is not something currently supported in our plugin. But it has been brought up a few times, and at some point if we got more requests, we would love to add this feature.

You can [upvote this suggestion](https://feedbo.io/board/filebird-document-library/#add-live-translate-options-to-translate-gutenberg-block) to let us know that you need live translate for FileBird Document Library!

*Happy translating\~*&#x20;
