1. go to the github repository of the plugin, e. g. [discourse-canned-replies](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-canned-replies). - go to `/config/locales` folder of the plugin. you should see some `yml` files, like `client.en.yml` and `server.en.yml`. - the client file is for the text parts in client side and is more important to be translated. texts in server file are only shown to admins. - open the English yml file, as we want to first translate this file. - press `create new file` button. - copy the text in `client.en.yml` into the new file. - change the first line from `en` to the proper locale name in discourse. e.g. I want to translate it to Persian, the correct locale name would be `fa_IR`. - now translate the strings between quotations `"` to your preferred language. - save the file into another file named `client.fa.yml`, if you’re translating it into German the name would be something like this `client.de.yml`. - fill out the information for the file like: `Persian translation of client.en.yml`. - then you should add a pull request, and wait for the plugin owner to accept it. BTW, there are other topics which show the way for this, but as I didn’t find it in howto just added my own experience: [https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-add-plugin-translations/19890?u=pad\_pors](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-add-plugin-translations/19890)
