# Language

::: danger

In view of the fact that more and more languages are bundled, starting from version 5.1.0, the core code of `artplayer.js` will no longer bundle other languages except `Simplified Chinese` and `English`, and you need to import the required language.

:::

:::warning 

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

:::

## Default language

The default languages are: `en`, `zh-cn`, no need to import manually

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

## Import language

The language files before packaging are stored in: `artplayer/src/i18n/*.js`, welcome to add your language

The packaged language files are stored in: `artplayer/dist/i18n/*.js`

Manually imported languages are: `cs`, `es`, `fa`, `fr`, `id`, `pl`, `ru`, `zh-tw`

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

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',
});
```

## 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'
        },
    },
});
```

## Change language

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

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'
        },
    },
});
