## Setting the Default Language to Chinese in GitLab
GitLab filters out languages with less than 90% translation coverage via the `SWITCHER_MINIMUM_TRANSLATION_LEVEL`
variable in the code. Simplified Chinese sits at 84% and Traditional Chinese at 83%.
Navigate to `/path/to/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/helpers/preferred_language_switcher_helper.rb` and modify
the code as follows:
```diff title="/path/to/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/helpers/preferred_language_switcher_helper.rb"
- SWITCHER_MINIMUM_TRANSLATION_LEVEL = 90
+ SWITCHER_MINIMUM_TRANSLATION_LEVEL = 80
```
Then restart GitLab with `gitlab-ctl restart`.
## Adding ICP Filing Information to the Homepage
Navigate to `/path/to/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/views/devise/shared/_footer.html.haml` and add the
following:
```diff
+ = link_to _("Your ICP Filing Number"), "https://beian.miit.gov.cn/", target: '_blank', class: 'text-nowrap', rel: 'noopener noreferrer'
```
## Upgrading GitLab

the server using `scp` or a similar tool.
