# sh.config\_translations.lua

Every player-facing string lives in this file under `Config.Lang`. Translate the values into your language — keep the keys and any `{placeholder}` tokens (e.g. `{name}`, `{position}`, `{time}`) unchanged, as the script fills them in at runtime.

## <mark style="color:yellow;">**Ui**</mark> <mark style="color:yellow;"></mark><mark style="color:yellow;">— terminal & device interface</mark>

Labels shown inside the Car Checker terminal and the Key Cloner device.
