About Localization

The software is perfect that I can't wait to kick off on it. But there's some problem while I was trying to add Chinese to the language set. Is it ok to just add a new folder to /public/language? Every time I do that, even if I just simply copy a folder from the existing ones and modify the language.json, it throws an error and the process goes off. I guess it's not that easy?

What error are you getting?

Just like this...I've fixed it. Mac automatically adds this file into the folder and in language.js it reads every file in the folder...

We should add some checks just to load the json files.

A Chinese language pack! YESSSSS

As a westernized Hong Konger, I can barely write Chinese, let alone type it. Please submit the completed pack back to NodeBB so that everybody can enjoy it!

@julian working on it!
