1. Go to the language folder and select a languages you can understand
2. Make a back-up of the language file you are translating from .
3. Open the language file in a text editor like Notepad.
4. In this file you will see lots of lines that look like the line below.
   
   strTxtWelcome = "Welcome"
   
   
5. Translate the parts shown above in red between the quotation marks to your own language.
   
6. Once you have finished altering the Language File save as a new language file and now you have created the language file..
7. open the langs.inc files found in the Tv Guide root folder and the admin folder inside that.
8. Add the lines below to the list of existing ones and edit them so they reflect the new language file, give the new file and ID and edit the link to the language file. Don't add the purple text in the langs.inc in the root folder, do the same in the admin folder except add the purple
   
   <% if strLanguage = "1" Then %>
   <!--#include file="../languages/name of the new language file.inc" -->
   <% END IF %>
   
   
9. Now you've added the new language file to the langauge selection , you need to add the language pack to the selectors so users can select the new language.
10. Now ope the selectLang.inc file and you will see there are lines with option, what you need to do is copy the code below and edit the verious part and save the file, then your new language is ready for use.
    
    <option value=" the value you set above in red " <% if UserLanguage = "The Value you set above in red" Then response.write "Selected" END IF%> >Name that you want people to see I.e English </option>
