+### 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.
