Snowify supports multiple languages through JSON translation files in src/locales/. To contribute a translation:

1. Copy the English file — Duplicate src/locales/en.json and rename it to your language's ISO 639-1 code (e.g. nl.json for Dutch).

2. Translate the values — Each file is a flat "key": "value" JSON object. Translate only the values, never the keys. Keep any {{placeholder}} variables intact:

   "home.greeting.morning": "Goedemorgen", "queue.trackCount": "{{count}} nummers"

3. Register the language — Add the new language code to the SUPPORTED array in src/renderer/i18n.js add a <option> for it in the language selector in src/renderer/index.html and add it to the supported languages in the README.

4. Open a PR — Submit your translation file along with the registration changes.

Currently supported: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Italian, Turkish, Russian, Hindi.
