	If your language is not listed then look inside the folder. You'll see multiple language files in here already. Make a copy of the '''en.json''' file, rename it with your two letter language code, such as '''ja.json''' for Japanese, then open it in your favorite text editor, preferably one with JSON syntax support. You can now select this file in Launcher, the 2 letter code will be in the brackets, '''English (ja)''' for example.

	There are handful of special strings with variables inside them such as ~~'''~~{0}~~'''~~. These means that they will fill in another string (often another localized one).
