===Translation summary===
If your mod is [[Modding:Open source|open-source]], you can add a translation summary to your repository's <samp>README.md</samp> file ([https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/#translating-the-mods see an example]). This makes it much more likely that translators will contribute translations for your mod since it...
* indicates that contributions are welcome;
* explains how to provide translations;
* and provides a summary of each mod's translation status and links.
You can [https://gist.github.com/Pathoschild/040ff6c8dc863ed2a7a828aa04447033 auto-generate the translation summary using a script].

# 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.''

# If you have partial translations, copy any missing translations into all translation files and mark them with <code>// TODO</code>. (That way translators only need to look at their language's file, they don't need to compare it with <samp>default.json</samp>.)
