1) Create translation folder

Check out the /Config/Translations folder. The one visible in your screenshot.

There, make a copy of the en folder. Name the new folder with the country code of your desired language, for example cn for Chinese.

Inside your new folder, rename Translation_en.ini to match the folder name, for example Translation_cn.ini. Do the same for ObjectNames_en.ini.

2) Add translation definition

Open /Config/Translations.ini.

There, add your new language under the [Translations] section, like follows:

[Translations]
0=English
1=Chinese

Then, add a new INI section for your new language to the file. Again, using Chinese as an example

[Chinese]
UIName=简体中文
Directory=cn

If you did everything correctly, your new language should now be available in the main menu.

Afterwards, you can simply open the string-table INI file in your translation's folder, in this example Translation_cn.ini, and get to translating the UI strings.
