 As part of BookStack v0.14 support for translations has been built in. All text strings can be found in the `resources/lang` folder where each language option has its own folder. To add a new language you should copy the `en` folder to an new folder (eg. `fr` for french) then go through and translate all text strings in those files, leaving the keys and file-names intact. If a language string is missing then the `en` translation will be used. To show the language option in the user preferences language drop-down you will need to add your language to the options found at the bottom of the `resources/lang/en/settings.php` file. A system-wide language can also be set in the `.env` file like so: `APP_LANG=en`.
 
 You will also need to add the language to the `locales` array in the `config/app.php` file.
+
+There is a script available which compares translation content to `en` files to see what items are missing or redundant. This can be ran like so from your BookStack install folder:
+
+```bash
+# Syntax
+php resources/lang/check.php <lang>
+
+# Examples
+php resources/lang/check.php fr
+php resources/lang/check.php pt_BR
+```
  
- Some strings have colon-prefixed variables in such as `:userName`. Leave these values as they are as they will be replaced at run-time.
