In order to add a new language, you need 2 lists: the guessing word list and the accepted word list. The second one is usually much longer, as it should contain all 5 letter words of the language. The guessing list contains a good collection of usual words. The 2 lists can be the same.
If the language contains accented characters (like "é", "ç" etc.), replace them with the non-accented variants ("e", "c" etc.)
Arrange the 2 lists in the following format:
["word1","word2","word3"],
Copy the lists in the words.js file, at the declaration of the wordList and accepted variables (just before the ]; lines).
Then add the language at the end of the languageList variable (main.js line 15).
Don't forget to add the credits to the creators of the word list in the showCredits() function!
