1. go to the github repository of the plugin, e. g. 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
