# How to Translate Your Script

Translating your script into different languages is made easy by modifying the `config.lua` file. Follow the steps below to customize the language settings using the `Strings` object within the `config.lua`.

## Step 1: Locate the `config.lua` File

* **Access Your Server Files:**
  * Connect to your server via FTP or use your file manager.
  * Navigate to the directory where your script is located.
* **Open `config.lua`:**
  * Find and open the `config.lua` file using a text editor (e.g., Notepad++, VS Code).

## Step 2: Find the `Strings` Object

Within the `config.lua` file, locate the `Strings` object. This object contains all the text strings used in the script that you can translate.

#### Example:

```lua
Strings = {
    ["welcomeMessage"] = "Welcome to our server!",
    ["errorMessage"] = "An error has occurred. Please try again.",
    -- Add more strings here
}
```

## Step 3: Translate the Strings

* **Identify the Text Strings:**
  * Review the `Strings` object to see which text strings are used in the script.
* **Translate Each String:**
  * Replace the English text (or the default language) with your desired translation. Ensure that the syntax remains correct.

#### Example of Translation:

```lua
Strings = {
    welcomeMessage = "Bienvenido a nuestro servidor!", -- Spanish translation
    errorMessage = "Se ha producido un error. Por favor, inténtelo de nuevo.", -- Spanish translation
    -- Add more translations here
}
```

**Save Your Changes:**

* After translating the strings, save the `config.lua` file.

## Step 4: Apply the Translation

* **Restart Your Server:**
  * To apply the new translations, restart your server.
* **Test the Script:**
  * Verify that the translated text appears correctly in your server's interface and messages.

## Troubleshooting

* **Text Not Displaying:** Ensure that the `config.lua` file is correctly edited and saved. Double-check for any syntax errors.
* **Incorrect Translations:** Review the translations for accuracy and context. Make sure the translated strings fit the intended use.

## Additional Tips

* **Backup Before Editing:** Always back up your original `config.lua` file before making changes.
* **Use Online Translation Tools:** If you're not fluent in the target language, consider using online translation tools or services for assistance.
