How to add new language?

How can i add new language on php melody?
I add language in settings.php but language now shows on admin panel and no it footer...

That should not be the case if the new language was added correctly in /include/setttings.php

Right now, the latest translation is Farsi/Persian, which has the following entry:

[code]// Farsi/Persian
$langs[25]["title"] = "Farsi";
$langs[25]["ico"] = _URL . "/lang/flags/ir.png";
$langs[25]["file"] = 'farsi.php';
$langs[25]["email_dir"] = 'farsi';[/code]

To add, Klingon as a language, the following lines should be appended:

[code]// Klingon
$langs[26]["title"] = "Klingon";
$langs[26]["ico"] = _URL . "/lang/flags/klin.png";
$langs[26]["file"] = 'klingon.php';
$langs[26]["email_dir"] = 'klingon';[/code]

As you can notice, the array number was incremented form 25 to 26. This is the most frequent mistake people make when adding new translations.

Hope this helps.
