Put the steps for existing translations first, this will be the most used case.

Simplified the wording of the 'add new language' case.

You can help Appflowy in supporting various languages by contributing. Follow the steps below sequentially to contribute translations.
**NOTE: Translation files SHOULD be** `json` **files named in the format** `<lang_code>-<country_code>.json` **or just** `<lang_code>.json`**. eg:**`en.json`**,** `en-UK.json`
## Steps to add new language support
1. Add language key-value json file to `frontend/app_flowy/assets/translations/`. Refer `en.json` for format and keys.
2. Run `flutter pub run easy_localization:generate -S assets/translations/`.
3. Run `flutter pub run easy_localization:generate -f keys -o locale_keys.g.dart -S assets/translations`.
4. Add locale of the language (eg: `Locale('en', 'IN')`, `Locale('en')`) in `supportedLocales` list under `EasyLocalization` wrapper for flutter to support it.
This is located in `frontend/app_flowy/lib/startup/tasks/application_widget.dart` under `AppWidgetTask` class as shown below:
```dart
runApp(
EasyLocalization(
supportedLocales: const [ Locale('en') ], // <---- Add locale to this list
path: 'assets/translations',
fallbackLocale: const Locale('en'),
child: app),
);
```
## Steps to modify translations
## Steps to modify an existing translation
Translation files are located in : `frontend/app_flowy/assets/translations/`
1. Modify the specific translation file.
2. Run `flutter pub run easy_localization:generate -S assets/translations/`.
3. Run `flutter pub run easy_localization:generate -f keys -o locale_keys.g.dart -S assets/translations`.
2. Run `flutter pub run easy_localization:generate -S assets/translations/`
3. Run `flutter pub run easy_localization:generate -f keys -o locale_keys.g.dart -S assets/translations`
4. Verify that the translation has changed appropriately by compiling and running the app.

**NOTE: Translation files SHOULD be** `json` **files named in the format** `<lang_code>-<country_code>.json` **or just** `<lang_code>.json`**. eg:**`en.json`**,** `en-UK.json`
1. Add language key-value json file to `frontend/app_flowy/assets/translations/`. Refer `en.json` for format and keys.
2. Run `flutter pub run easy_localization:generate -S assets/translations/`
3. Run `flutter pub run easy_localization:generate -f keys -o locale_keys.g.dart -S assets/translations`
4. Open the `frontend/app_flowy/lib/startup/tasks/application_widget.dart` file.
5. In the `AppWidgetTask` class, add the locale of the language you just created (eg: `Locale('en', 'IN')`, `Locale('en')`) to the `supportedLocales` List :
```dart
runApp(
EasyLocalization(
supportedLocales: const [Locale('en'), Locale('zh_CN')], // <---- Add locale to this list
path: 'assets/translations',
fallbackLocale: const Locale('en'),
child: app),
);
```
