Hi, I know that Ghost support localization and it’s awesome! My blog is 95% in French now. The only thing missing is the email a user receives when he is subscribing to the blog? Where we find the file to edit and change to another language? In the core files? thanks ---

I am also looking very much forward to be able to translate and personalize these emails. Is it already possible? Or maybe something that is coming in the future? Hope that one of the staff have time to respond! ---

Hello all, After checked, even if i’m wrong, at this moment it’s only possible to change the subscription email’s language by modifying somes core files below: ``` current/core/server/services/members/emails/signup.js current/core/server/services/members/emails/subscribe.js current/core/server/services/members/emails/signin.js ``` However, I do not recommend that you do this because any changes will have to be made again each time you update your Ghost instance. ---

Thanks for pointing out but Ghost supporting other language is pointless if the email for subscription can’t be translated. For the moment no choice of changing the core files 99% of my site is now translated only the connection email. thanks ---

Memberships and subscriptions are a clearly labelled _beta_ feature which do not yet support localisation, but we appreciate the feedback that this is something you’d like to see in future. ---

OMG You’re right John, sorry sometime we get so excited about using Ghost hahaha. I may have found a bug in the membership mechanism where I report it? When I try to delete a registered user I’m getting the message: Resource not found error, cannot delete member. Resource could not be found. Regards ---

It’s working great (for the moment). Please note that you also need to edit the file current/core/server/services/members/api.js the subject of the emails are in that js file. Now all my Ghost site is in French! ---

Hello 😄 But if a page is focused on only one language. then you would also have to make changes here > ---

Hello, any progress? Translating email text seems like a make or break feature. ---

Any updates here @John ? We use ghost for german projects and would love to communicate with our users in that language without forking. ---

We have not had any contributors offer to help with i18n of members so far — if anyone is interested in getting involved, there are plenty of ways: > **[Ghost product principles & roadmap](https://ghost.org/docs/product/)** > > Ghost is developed by a small core team and a great deal of care is given to deciding what features get built.

Hi - i like your product and i find the possibility to change the subscribe-dialogs and e-mails crucial. So if there is no volunteers to contribute to a comfortable way to support multiple languages and it is not on top of your todo-list - okay. But if i try to fork and change it in the theme-files and then want to upload the change i get this message: " Upgrade to enable custom themes. All our official built-in themes are available on the Starter plan. If you upgrade to one of our higher tiers you will also be able to edit and upload custom themes for your site." So shall i upgrade to be able to get the advantage of managing my work-around for this feature? i don’t know … ---

You’re replying to an old thread. Here’s the latest on email translation: [Help translate Ghost (beta)](https://forum.ghost.org/t/help-translate-ghost-beta/37461) If you’re trying to change email, editing the _theme_ will not accomplish that. Transactional email text is controlled by Ghost core, so uploading a new theme will not let you fix the portal and email translations, but enabling beta translation (under Settings \> Labs) may.
