- File must be translated based on the English ProcessMaker language, you can download from here.

How to create your translation file
ProcessMaker accepts .po files; basically it is possible to use any po program to create your translations, or a plain text editor such as Notepad++ or UltraEdit for windows and gedit or vim for Linux. To check po file structure it is recommended to use PO Edit, remember that file has to be encoded on UTF-8 and also the plain text editor choose to be used has to be encoded with it.
If you don't know the respective code for the respective language to be translated please check the list on this page.
For more information on how to create translation files please refer to this documentation.
