## translations
currently, we are **not accepting** translations of cobalt. we're working on changing this soon!
we are currently accepting translations via the [i18n platform](https://i18n.imput.net).
thank you for showing interest in making cobalt more accessible around the world, we really appreciate it! here are some guidelines for how a cobalt translation should look:
- cobalt's writing style is informal. please do not use formal language, unless there is no other way to express the same idea of the original text in your language.
- do not translate the name "cobalt", or "imput"
- you can translate "meowbalt" into whatever your language's equivalent of _meow_ is (e.g. _miaubalt_ in German)
- **please don't translate cobalt into languages which you are not experienced in.** we can use google translate ourselves, but we would prefer cobalt to be translated by humans, not computers.
if your language does not exist on the translation platform yet, you can request to add it by adding it to any of cobalt's components (e.g. [here](https://i18n.imput.net/projects/cobalt/about/)).
before translating a piece of text, check that no one has made a translation yet. pending translations are displayed in the **Suggestions** tab on the translate page. if someone already made a suggestion, and you think it's correct, you can upvote it! this helps us distinguish that a translation is correct.
if no one has submitted a translation, or the submitted translation seems wrong to you, you can submit your translation by clicking the **Suggest** button for each individual string, which sends it off for human review. we will then check it to to ensure no malicious translations are submitted, and add it to cobalt.
## adding features or support for services
before putting in the effort to implement a feature, it's worth considering whether it would be appropriate to add it to cobalt. the cobalt api is built to assist people **only with downloading freely accessible content**. other functionality, such as:
