+## How to add translations
+
+1. Go to `/frontend` run `npm run gettext-extract`
+This will create a translations.pot file in `frontend/src/resources`
+2. Open this file in a translation editor (e.g. https://poedit.net/) and create a .po file in `frontend/src/resources`
+3. To compile the .po file into our translations.json run `npm run gettext-compile`
