You can ask translators to provide translations for your mod. This can be a lot of work and translators often don't get much credit, so we ask for a bit of upfront work to make it easier.
<ol>
<li>Before you start:
# Your mod '''must''' be open-source on a public site like [https://github.com/ GitHub].<br />''This is important for the modders curating the request list, since it lets them (a) check the current status of your mod translations to keep requests up-to-date, (b) answer questions from translators if needed, and (c) submit a pull request with any translations received when the ticket is closed if you stop responding.''
# Make sure you watch the request and you have time to reply to questions! Your request will be closed if you don't respond to a question on the ticket within 72 hours.
# The <tt>default.json</tt> must be complete and in English. If your main language isn't English and you need help preparing it, we can help! Just create a request the same way below, but choose <code>needs: English copyediting</code> as the label instead.
</li>
<li>[https://github.com/StardewModders/mod-translations/issues Create a request ticket] with this info:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! field
! what to enter
|-
| title
| The mod name and version to translate.
|-
| labels
| Choose the 'needs:' labels for the translations you need. (Don't add 'done:' labels, that's only for completed requests.)
|-
| Description
| Provide the following information:
* A brief summary of what your mod does, including a link to the mod page.
* A link to the open-source code.
* A download link if you're requesting translations for an unreleased version. (You can attach it directly to the request ticket.)
* If needed, an explanation of where the text appears, screenshots, etc.
Here's [https://github.com/StardewModders/mod-translations/issues/1 an example request] which provides that info.
