How it works

Translations are powered by Ghost’s {{t}} helper and a set of JSON files inside the locales/ folder. You can edit any existing file or add a new language without installing dependencies.

For more details, refer to the official Ghost translation guide.

1

Add a new language (optional)

1

Duplicate an existing file (e.g., en.json).

2

Rename it using a valid language code (e.g., de.json).

3

Replace the values with your translations.

Repackage the theme

Compress the entire theme folder into a new ZIP file.

Upload the updated theme

1

Recommended tools

For safe translation editing, use a code editor that supports UTF-8 and JSON formatting:

• Visual Studio Code

• Cursor

Avoid editors like Notepad or Word — they may introduce errors or break JSON formatting.
