+## Adding a new language
+
+If you are adding support for a new language, you have to do the following:
+
+1. Add language specific configuration and parameters in `exampleSite/hugo.toml`
+2. Translate specific terms by creating a new language-specific file in the `i18n` directory
+3. Add translated content in `exampleSite/content` directory
+
+You can take a look at this [Pull request](https://github.com/hugo-sid/hugo-blog-awesome/pull/145) for reference.
