 **Note**: Keep in mind that `settings.py` is a regular file, like any other. You can open it from inside the code editor, using the "File -> Open" menu action. This should get you the usual window in which you can navigate to your `settings.py` file and select it. Alternatively, you can open the file by navigating to the `djangogirls/` folder on your desktop and right-clicking on it. Then, select your code editor from the list. Selecting the editor is important as you might have other programs installed that can open the file but will not let you edit it.

 A language code consist of the language, e.g. `en` for English or `de` for German, and the country code, e.g. `de` for Germany or `ch` for Switzerland. If English is not your native language, you can add this to change the default buttons and notifications from Django to be in your language. So you would have "Cancel" button translated into the language you defined here. [Django comes with a lot of prepared translations](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/settings/#language-code).
 
 If you want a different language, change the language code by changing the following line:
