When you are greeted by the login screen: The first step to creating your language file is creating its database.

4. Double click on it to open it:

6. Click ‘Save’

   The file will be called yourlanguageDAT (e.g. AwabakalDAT) and the folder called yourlanguageMMData (e.g. AwabakalMMData). These are the brains of Miromaa.
   
   
8. Double click on the folder.
   
   
   
   Inside will be another folder with the name of your language (e.g. Awabakal). This folder is where Miromaa will archive copies of your library items and media:
   
   
   
   This is the folder structure of Miromaa.
   
   These circled folders work together as the brains and memory of Miromaa:
   
   

    

   ! VERY IMPORTANT !
   NEVER move, delete, change or rename these folders!
