### Accepting suggestions, making direct changes
### Making direct changes, accepting suggestions
To prevent spam and trolling, direct translations are limited to Forgejo Localization team members.
Making direct changes requires a [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/) account. Use it to log into [Codeberg Translate](https://translate.codeberg.org/).
Being team member, you can use the "Save" button to update the translation directly. You can also apply existing suggestions by clicking the checkmark icon, or reject, optionally specifying the rejection reason.
If the string is not translated or approved, you can edit it and use the "Save" button to save the change. You can also apply existing suggestions by clicking the checkmark icon, or reject, optionally specifying the rejection reason.
If the string is translated and approved, it can only be changed by a Forgejo Localization team member, but everyone else is still able suggest changes.
To protect the existing translations from vandalism, all strings imported from Gitea were automatically marked as approved.
### Adding a new language
If your language is not available in the language list, you must add first it before translating.
You need to be a Localization team member to add new language. If you're not, please apply! If there's no team member for your language, nobody will be able to check and accept your translations.
To add a new language, go to the [page for starting new translation](https://translate.codeberg.org/new-lang/forgejo/forgejo/), select your language and click "Start new translation".
