Any statement contained inside `{{` and `}}` are Gitea's template syntax and
shouldn't be touched without fully understanding these components.
### Customizing startpage / homepage
Copy [`home.tmpl`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/templates/home.tmpl) for your version of Gitea from `templates` to `custom/templates`.
Edit as you wish.
Dont forget to restart your gitea to apply the changes.
### Adding links and tabs
If all you want is to add extra links to the top navigation bar, or extra tabs to the repository view, you can put them in `extra_links.tmpl` and `extra_tabs.tmpl` inside your `custom/templates/custom/` directory.

Locales are managed via our [crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/gitea).
You can override a locale by placing an altered locale file in `custom/options/locale`.
Gitea's default locale files can be found in the [`options/locale`](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/master/options/locale) source folder and these should be used as examples for your changes.
To add a completely new locale, as well as placing the file in the above location, you will need to add the new lang and name to the `[i18n]` section in your `app.ini`. Keep in mind that Gitea will use those settings as **overrides**, so if you want to keep the other languages as well you will need to copy/paste the default values and add your own to them.
