# Translating

All of the Freeform control panel is translatable. Front end template translating of fields and error messages is also available.

To make a translation, follow Craft's instructions for Translating Static Text, and then check out the Freeform-specific guide below:

• Duplicate the freeform.php file inside the Freeform plugin located at the ./vendor/solspace/craft-freeform/src/translations/en-US folder, and move it into the language ID folder (e.g. de) of your Craft ./translations/ directory. If the translations directory does not yet exist, you'll need to create it (e.g. ./translations/de/freeform.php). You can then update those language keys inside your Freeform translation file.

Visit the Craft documentation for more information about Setting Up a Localized Site.

If you'd like to share your translation with others, send us and email with a link to the translation file, and we'll consider including it in the main Solspace Freeform plugin package.
