description: "Translate SpaceBay with Poedit or Loco Translate, build the portal and admin apps from source, and the libraries SpaceBay uses."

## Translation

SpaceBay is translation ready with the text domain `spacebay`. The template file is `languages/spacebay.pot`. Translate it with Poedit or Loco Translate and save files as `spacebay-{locale}.po/.mo`. Portal and admin strings also need the JSON files that Loco Translate or `wp i18n make-json` creates.

SpaceBay supports right-to-left languages and was tested in English and Arabic.

## Building from source

The readable source of the portal and admin apps is in `src/`. The compiled files are in `assets/build/`.

```bash
npm install
npm run build
```
