UI Text	/docs/ui-text/	Text for customizing user interface elements found in the theme.	2020-05-01T10:15:37-04:00

Text for UI elements, _layouts, and _includes grouped together as a set of translation keys. This is by no means a full-on i18n solution, but it does help make customizing theme text a bit easier.

The English¹ main keys in _data/ui-text.yml are translated in the following languages:

• Brazilian Portuguese (Português brasileiro)
• Catalan
• Chinese
• Danish
• Dutch
• Finnish
• French (Français)
• German (Deutsch)
• Greek
• Hungarian
• Indonesian
• Irish (Gaeilge)
• Italian (Italiano)
• Korean
• Japanese
• Malayalam
• Myanmar (Burmese)
• Nepali (Nepalese)
• Norwegian (Norsk)
• Polish
• Persian (فارسی)
• Romanian
• Russian
• Slovak
• Spanish (Español)
• Swedish
• Thai
• Turkish (Türkçe)
• Vietnamese

If you're are interested in localizing them into other languages feel free to submit a pull request and I will be happy to look it over.

Many of the label based keys like meta_label, categories_label, tags_label, share_on_label, and follow_label can be left blank if you'd like to omit them from view. It really depends on you and if you want an even more minimal look to your site.

![UI text labels]({{ "/assets/images/mm-ui-text-labels.jpg" | relative_url }})

Note: The theme comes with localized text in English (en, en-US, en-GB). If you change locale in _config.yml to something else, most of the UI text will go blank. Be sure to add the corresponding locale key and translated text to _data/ui-text.yml to avoid this. {: .notice--warning}

1. en-US, and en-GB use YAML anchors to reference the values in en as to not repeat them. ↩︎
