# Translation

## What is POEditor?

POEditor is the software used by Eventcord for translations. The bot pulls data from this software to update its languages every few minutes. If languages dip under a certain percentage of the language being translated, the language will be disabled from the bot until the percentage increases.

## How do I use POEditor?

Visit [https://poeditor.com/kb/how-do-you-use-poeditor-contributor ](https://poeditor.com/kb/how-do-you-use-poeditor-contributor)for an introduction to using POEditor. Note that some of the features described in the article are not enabled.

## Considerations when Translating

* Please leave Discord markdown text (e.g. \*\*, \_\_, \`, etc.)
* Please leave placeholders. A placeholder is text wrapped by curly brackets (e.g. {url}). If you mess up a placeholder POEditor will notify you.
