Custom Language Files

You can create your own language translations:

2. Copy template.yml as a template
3. Rename to your language code (e.g., de_DE.yml, fr_FR.yml)
4. Translate all message strings
5. Set language: de_DE in config.yml

The plugin automatically detects all custom language files!

Tip: Use template.yml - it has helpful comments for translators.
