# Language Settings

::: danger

Due to the increasing number of bundled multilingual resources, starting from version `5.1.0`, the core `artplayer.js` code will no longer bundle any languages other than `Simplified Chinese` and `English`. You will need to manually import any other languages you require.

:::

:::warning 

When a language cannot be matched, English will be displayed by default. For i18n syntax reference, see: [artplayer/types/i18n.d.ts](https://github.com/zhw2590582/ArtPlayer/blob/master/packages/artplayer/types/i18n.d.ts)

:::

## Default Languages

The default languages are: `en`, `zh-cn`. No manual import is required.

```js{4}
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
    lang: 'zh-cn', // or 'en'
});
```

## Importing Languages

Language files before bundling are located at: `artplayer/src/i18n/*.js`. Contributions for new languages are welcome.

Bundled language files are located at: `artplayer/dist/i18n/*.js`

::: code-group

```js [import]
import id from 'artplayer/i18n/id';
import zhTw from 'artplayer/i18n/zh-tw';

var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
    i18n: { 
        id: id,
        'zh-tw': zhTw,
    },
    lang: 'zh-tw',
});
```

```js [script]
<script src="artplayer/dist/i18n/id.js"></script>
<script src="artplayer/dist/i18n/zh-tw.js"></script>

var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
    i18n: { 
        id: window['artplayer-i18n-id'],
        'zh-tw': window['artplayer-i18n-zh-tw'],
    },
    lang: 'zh-tw',
});
```

## Adding a New Language

```js{4-9}
var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
    lang: 'your-lang',
    i18n: {
        'your-lang': {
            Play: 'Your Play'
        },
    },
});
```

## Modifying a Language

```js
import zhTw from 'artplayer/i18n/zh-tw';

var art = new Artplayer({
    container: '.artplayer-app',
    url: '/assets/sample/video.mp4',
    i18n: {
        // Change the default language
        'zh-cn': {
            Play: 'Your Play'
        },
        // Change the imported language
        'zh-tw': {
            ...zhTw,
            Play: 'Your Play'
        },
    },
});
```
