## Translating strings vs. marking strings for translation
Translating strings are done with the `_t()` function found in matrix-react-sdk/lib/languageHandler.js.
Translating strings are done with the `_t()` function found in `languageHandler.tsx`.
It is recommended to call this function wherever you introduce a string constant which should be translated.
However, translating can not be performed until after the translation system has been initialized.
Thus, sometimes translation must be performed at a different location in the source code than where the string is introduced.

## Adding new strings
1. Check if the import `import { _t } from 'matrix-react-sdk/src/languageHandler';` is present. If not add it to the other import statements. Also import `_td` if needed.
1. Check if the import `import { _t } from ".../languageHandler";` is present. If not add it to the other import statements. Also import `_td` if needed.
1. Add `_t()` to your string passing the translation key you come up with based on the rules above. If the string is introduced at a point before the translation system has not yet been initialized, use `_td()` instead, and call `_t()` at the appropriate time.
1. Run `yarn i18n` to add the keys to `src/i18n/strings/en_EN.json`
1. Modify the new entries in `src/i18n/strings/en_EN.json` with the English (UK) translations for the added keys.
