# Language System

## Language System

Elena MDT supports 6 languages out of the box. All translations are defined in config.lua.

***

### Setting the Language

```
Config.Language = 'en'
```

Available options:

| Code | Language  |
| ---- | --------- |
| tr   | Türkçe    |
| en   | English   |
| de   | Deutsch   |
| fr   | Français  |
| es   | Español   |
| pt   | Português |

***

### How It Works

1. Server sends the selected locale to client on MDT open
2. Client applies translations to all UI elements
3. All notifications, labels, placeholders are translated
4. Dynamic content (reports, warrants, etc.) uses locale keys

***

### Adding a New Language

1. Open config.lua
2. Find Config.Locales
3. Copy an existing language block (e.g., \['en'])
4. Change the key to your language code
5. Translate all values

Example:

```
Config.Locales['nl'] = {
    dashboard = 'Operatiecentrum',
    gbt_title = 'Persoon Opzoeken',
    vehicle_title = 'Voertuig Database',
    -- ... translate all keys
}
```

6. Set Config.Language = 'nl'

***

### Translation Keys

All available keys:

| Key                | Description                   |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------- |
| dashboard          | Dashboard page title          |
