@@ -5 +5 @@
 The [wiki:Language] is a [wiki:singleton] that handles strings in different languages. It replaces hardcoded strings by labeled strings, where the coder only uses the label and the [wiki:Language] searches for the localised string in the [wiki:ConfigValueContainer configured] language-file. Every string has a fallback-value that is used if there is no localised version or no language was configured. The language can be configured by changing the ''language_'' entry in the [wiki:ConfigValueContainer config-file].
 
+A new language-entry can be added with the !AddLanguageEntry(label, fallbackstring) macro and the localisation can be retrieved with !GetLocalisation(label).
+
 All labels and the corresponding fallback strings are written to ''translation_default.lang''. If the fallback-string gets changed in the code, ''translation_default.lang'' changes too. If a new label gets added in the code, it gets added to ''translation_default.lang''. You can't change labels or fallback-strings in this file, it will be set back to the default. You can use ''translation_default.lang'' as a sample for a new language file. See [wiki:Language#Addinganewlanguage] for more informations about this.
