Answers.Text: It's also possible to keep your translation files somewhere else/outside the /craft folder – just set the [`CRAFT_TRANSLATIONS_PATH`](https://craftcms.com/docs/php-constants#craft-translations-path) PHP constant to your desired path (you can set the constant it in your /public/index.php file, for example).

  You can add your own translations by placing a region-specific translation file in a `craft/translations` folder. The filename should be named after your locale and return an array of translations. In your case this may look like a file named:
  
  ```
  craft/translations/hu.php
  
  ```
  
  And within that file, returning an array like so:
  
  ```
  <?php 
  
  return array(
      "Singles" => "Something Better than Egyedülállók"
  );
  
  ```
  
  All strings that are identified as translatable in your front-end templates and the Craft Control Panel files, will be checked against these translations when loading a page in your particular locale. Craft's help doc on [Static Translations](https://craftcms.com/support/static-translations) discusses what this could look like in your templates.
