Description: How to add or remove Mintlify languages, keep translations current, and edit generated content.

After your Mintlify docs are set up and translating, use this guide to keep them current as your content and language needs change.

## Keep translations up to date [#continuous]

Locadex follows the trigger saved on **Generate translations and push**. Use **A pull request changes** to translate proposed changes before merge, or **A commit is pushed** to translate updates after they reach the target branch. Locadex reuses an open pull request for the same automation branch and opens a new one after the previous PR is merged or closed.

Open **Project > Automations**, select the automation, and click **Run now** to trigger it yourself. Review or change automatic merging in [Auto-merging Locadex PRs](/docs/platform/locadex/guides/auto-merging-prs).

## Add or remove languages [#languages]

1. In the Dashboard, open **Project > Automations**.
2. Select **Keep locales in sync**, creating it from the template if necessary.
3. Click **Run now**, then change the **source locale** or add and remove **target languages**.
4. Confirm the run. Locadex opens a pull request that updates the locale configuration and the `docs.json` navigation, and translates content for any newly added languages.
5. Review and merge the pull request to apply the change.

Locadex preserves existing navigation entries for languages you keep, including translated paths and per-locale navigation files referenced with `$ref`. It adds entries only for newly selected languages and removes locale folders only for languages you remove.

Only locales that map to a supported Mintlify language can be added. (See [Locales](/docs/integrations/mintlify/reference/locales) and the shared [Managing languages](/docs/platform/locadex/guides/managing-languages) guide).

## Edit generated translations [#edit]

Translations live as files in your repository, so you can edit them like any other content:

- Edit the translated `.mdx` or `.md` files directly and commit the change.
- Edit translations in the General Translation Dashboard.

Keep **Preserve local edits** enabled in the automation configuration to upload local translation edits before generating and downloading translations. This setting is enabled for new automations. Without it, downloaded translations can replace local edits.
