# Add a new language

Adding a language to Parley is fairly straight forwards, the steps below show you how to modify the supported languages.

## 1. Updating the ENUM

Open up the `Localization.cs` file located inside the `Utilities` folder of the Parley asset.

You'll find the [LanguageID](/parley/reference/scripting/localization/language-id) enum located near the top of the file, this is where your supported languages go.

Add your desired language(s) to the enum. It should look something like this:

```csharp theme={null}
public enum LanguageID
{
    English,
    German,
}
```

## 2. Adding the info

Inside the [Localizer](/parley/reference/scripting/localization/localizer) class, you'll find a dictionary called [Languages](/parley/reference/scripting/localization/localizer#languages).

Create the language details pair like the english example or like the example below:

```csharp theme={null}
{
    LanguageID.LanguageIDFromLanguageIDEnum,
    new LanguageInfo("iso_code", "native_name", "english_name")
},
```

If you did things correctly, you should see something like the example below:

```csharp theme={null}
public static readonly Dictionary<LanguageID, LanguageInfo> Languages = new()
{
    {
        LanguageID.English,
        new LanguageInfo("en", "English", "English")
    },
    {
        LanguageID.German,
        new LanguageInfo("de", "Deutsch", "German")
    },
};
```

<Info>
  It is recommended to use [ISO 639-1](https://localizely.com/iso-639-1-list/) codes for languages so that your naming is consistent, however, you can use whatever string you like in the `iso_code` field.
</Info>

And with that, you have added a new language!

Please note that text direction is handled at the start of your files, this is shown in the next section.
