## Adding context

Sometimes a string isn't enough to give context to the AI, and as a result, it may give an undesirable translation. ALT allows you to specify additional context for this reason.

```json

"appContextMessage": "Voided is a MMORPG game based on outer space."

Under what conditions will ALT translate a given source string?
|
|
289
|

|
|
290

Translation will occur for a given target language & reference key/value if any of the following are true:

|
291
|

|
|
285
292
|
* The output file does not exist

* The output file is missing the reference key
|
|

* Example: You're translating reference key _error-msg_ to target language _zh-Hant.jso_ and `zh-Hans.json` does not have a key/value pair for key _error-msg_
