Rename the name of the files in the admin and the site directory with the new language code. (xx-XX.com_estateagent.ini). The language files have the same name into admin and into site directory (backend - frontend) like xx-XX.com_estateagent.ini

Translate every line.
-
Each line consists of a pair of strings separated by an equals sign like this:

where “KEY” is a string to be translated and “Value” is the translated string. For example
EA_OBJ_REFERENCE=Reference
