Hi.
Anyone know how to add new language in Minetest?

Do you mean programming language,

or human language such as French, Spanish?

Human language (Indonesian)

http://dev.minetest.net/Translation explains the translation process. The Weblate page seems to be down at the moment however.

How to test it? (Before uploading to git)

Be sure to compile your game with:
-DENABLE_FREETYPE=1 -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1
or use windows build with freetype and gettext support.

Create a folder named after shortcut of your language, then edit .po file inside.
You can use https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... inetest.po as a template.

Dont forget to set in minetest.conf:
langauge = your_language_shortcut

Freetype isn't a requirement for language support. GetText and libIconV are needed to translate the stuff.

I already have freetype6.dll and libiconv2.dll
How to get gettext?
