+* Open the @"locale"@ file with Notepad (or another program that supports UTF-8), and translate the strings.
+* Add new keys for game, stylesheet or symbol font specific keys as described above.
+* Save the file, select the new locale from Edit->Preferences.
+* Restart MSE, and make sure everything looks right.
+* Submit the new locale to the [[http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/forum/7|MSE forum].
