Let's add a new language Italy.
Create an it.php file in theassets/langfolder. And refer to the other languages to add or update the keys and values for translation. -
You need to add a new language in the topbar dropdown in the
file
layouts/topbar.phpfile and fin the class "language-switch". You can add a new language flag so it will be able to render in the topbar. -
You can use
<?php echo $language["Forms"]; ?>in the view.

config.php file.

secure apps" to ON. You check the setting from this link https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps?gar=1.
Tips
CSS: We suggest you do not change any scss files from the assets/scss/custom folders because to get new updates will break your CSS changes if any you have made. We strongly suggest you create a new custom.css file and use that instead of overwriting any template's custom CSS files.
