 A theme has translations into the preset.json (`assets/themes/themename/themename.json`). To add a translation:

 1. Modify `"language"` to contain the new language, e.g. `"language": "nl"` becomes `"language": ["nl", "en"]`
 2. Add extra strings to the texts. If it used to be a single-language theme, one can replace the strings, e.g.: `"description": "Welcome to Open Bookcase Map"` to `"description": {"en": "Welcome to Open Bookcase Map", "nl": "Welkom bij de OpenBoekenruilkastenKaart", "fr": "Bienvenue sûr la carte des petites bibliotheques"}`.
