## Adding a new language (if not in dropdown above)
The process is similar for the above, but does require a new folder with the language identifier to be added. Create [packages/apps/public/locales/<id>](https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/tree/master/packages/apps/public/locales) folder with an empty `translation.json` (containing only `{}`). After addition of the folder, run `yarn build:i18n` and then the new language will be available for update as per the process in the previous section.
