 ## Usage
 ### Publish Command
-Publish translations for one language:
-```bash
-php artisan nova-lang:publish de
-```
+* Publish translations for one language:
+  ```bash
+  php artisan nova-lang:publish de
+  ```
 
-Publish translations for multiple languages:
-```bash
-php artisan nova-lang:publish de,ru
-```
+* Publish translations for multiple languages (comma-separated):
+  ```bash
+  php artisan nova-lang:publish de,ru
+  ```
 
-Publish translations for all languages:
-```bash
-php artisan nova-lang:publish --all
-```
+* Publish translations for all available languages:
+  ```bash
+  php artisan nova-lang:publish --all
+  ```
 
-Publish translations and override existing files:
-```bash
-php artisan nova-lang:publish de,ru --force
-```
+* Publish translations and override existing files:
+  ```bash
+  php artisan nova-lang:publish de,ru --force
+  ```
+
+#### Aliases
+The language codes chosen for the files in this repository may not match the preferences for your project. You can use the `‑‑alias` option to publish locales using a different filename.
+
+* Publish translations for one language with an alias, using the simple format `{alias}`:
+  ```bash
+  php artisan nova-lang:publish de --alias=de-DE
+  ```
+  This will publish the file `de-DE.json`.
+
+* Publish translations for multiple languages with multiple aliases, using the format `{locale}:{alias}` (comma-separated):
+  ```bash
+  php artisan nova-lang:publish de,ru,fr --alias=de:de-DE,ru:ru-RU
+  ```
+  This will publish the files `de-DE.json`, `ru-RU.json` and `fr.json` (no alias).
+
+* Aliases can also be used with the `--all` flag:
+
+  ```bash
+  php artisan nova-lang:publish --all --alias=es:es-ES
+  ```
+  You do not need to supply an alias for every locale that is to be published, only those that you wish to override.
+
+* Here are some example aliases for common use cases:
+
+  * Use Chinese with scripts instead of regions: `zh-CN:zh-Hans,zh-TW:zh-Hant`
+  * Default to Brazilian Portuguese over European: `pt:pt-PT,pt-BR:pt`
+  * Default to Serbian in Latin script over Cyrillic: `sr-Latn:sr,sr:sr-Cyrl`
+
+
+* There is also an `‑‑underscore` or `‑U` switch to publish locales with an underscore separator instead of a hyphen. This can be used in combination with aliases.
