# Override Default Translations

If you would like to customize the default translation, you do not need to modify the translation files in the `languages` directory. You can override all translations using [Data Files](https://hexo.io/docs/data-files).

1. Creat a `languages.yml` in `source/_data`.
2. Insert following codes: (be careful about the two-space indent)

    ```yml
    # language
    zh-CN:
      # items
      post:
        copyright:
          # the translation you perfer
