* Copy and paste the code for [LSL](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal) from [userDefineLang.xml](userDefineLang.xml).
* When saving changes to the file make sure the file's encoding is `ANSI/ASCII`!
* If user-defined languages **do not exist**:
* Open [Notepad++](https://www.notepad-plus-plus.org/) and go to `Language > Define your language > Import` to import a temporary copy of [userDefineLang.xml](userDefineLang.xml) which you can delete when done.
* :warning: Make sure the encoding of the file you are importing is `ANSI/ASCII`!
* Copy and paste the code in [LSL](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal) from [userDefineLang.xml](userDefineLang.xml) to a new file and save as LSL.xml in the apropriate path above.
* When saving changes to the file make sure the file's encoding is `ANSI/ASCII`!

* Choose the language via `Language > LSL` from the menu. You should should be able to find it at the bottom of the language menu in the section for user defined languages.
