### Translating an update
From time to time, we'll add new strings to all the language files. The new strings will be in English and ready to be translated to your language of choice.
Update commits usually have message in the format of "Update strings for 1.x.x" where "1.x.x" is the new version number. This is an example commit: [Update strings for 1.2.7](https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-translations/commit/8bff16a8b866604876d417bf7f322484b6090431).
By examining what happened to your language file, you can find the new strings to translate.
### Translate a missing phrase on the UI
If you spot a missing phrase while using Obsidian, here's what to do:
1. Figure out where the language file lives by looking up the language table in the README under the ["Existing languages" section](https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-translations#existing-languages).
2. Edit the language file, look for the exact English phrase.
3. Replace it with the appropriate translated phrase.
4. Submit your changs as a pull request.
