+## InvenTree Translation Files
+
+This directory contains translation files for the InvenTree mobile app.
+
+### File Structure
+
+**Translation Source File** - app_en.arb
+
+This file contains the source strings for translating. If you want to add a new translatable string to the app, is must be added to this file!
+
+**Translated Files** - <lc>/app_<lb>arb
+
+Each directory contains a single translation output file, generated by the [crowdin translation service](https://crowdin.com/project/inventree). *Do not edit these files*
+
+**collected** - Collected files
+
+Before building the app, the translation files are collected from the various directories into a single directory, so they can be accessed by the app.
+
+### Translating
+
+DO NOT EDIT THE TRANSLATION FILES DIRECTLY!
+
+Translation files are crowd sourced using the [crowdin service](https://crowdin.com/project/inventree). Contributions are welcomed (and encouraged!)
