 ## Developing
 
+## i18n
+
+This project uses [Lingui](https://lingui.js.org/) for internalization. The translations are stored in the `src/i18n/locales` folder.
+
+**Translating in JSX: `<Trans>` Component**
+
+Use the `<Trans>` component when translating strings directly in JSX markup:
+
+```jsx
+import { Trans } from "@lingui/react/macro";
+
+function Greeting() {
+  return (
+    <h1>
+      <Trans>Hello, world!</Trans>
+    </h1>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**Translating in JavaScript: `i18n._(t\`...`)`**
+
+For translations used **outside of JSX**, such as in variables, logs, or logic, use `i18n._(t\`...`)`:
+
+Example:
+
+```jsx
+import { t } from "@lingui/core/macro";
+import { i18n } from "@lingui/core";
+
+console.log(i18n._(t`Operation completed successfully.`));
+```
+
+### Extracting & Compiling Translations
+
+#### Extract Strings
+
+To extract translatable strings into `.po` files:
+
+```bash
+# To extract all translations
+npm run extract
+
+# To extract translations and clean up unused ones
+npm run extract-clean
+```
+
+This updates the `messages.po` files inside `src/i18n/locales/{locale}/`.
+
+#### Compile Translations
+
+After updating the `.po` files with your translations, compile them into `.ts` files:
+
+```bash
+npm run compile
+```
+
 ### Prerequisites
 
 - Node v20
