title: "Internationalization"
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
The Home Assistant internationalization project includes preparing platforms and the frontend for localization, as well as the actual translation of localized strings.
|
||
|
||
Some components and platforms will have strings that need to be localized specifically for that platform. These strings are managed in the core [home-assistant](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant) repository. The Home Assistant backend will serve strings to the clients based on the loaded components in the running instance.
|
||
|
||
There are also localizable strings that exist only on the frontend. These strings are managed in the [home-assistant-polymer](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer) repository. These strings are stored with the frontend and don’t depend on the backend configuration.
|
||
|
||
Our strings are translated by the community using the online translation tool [Lokalise](https://lokalise.co/).
