Sometimes, the action code stored in keymap may be referred as keycode in some documents due to the TMK history.
### Keymap layer status
-Keymap layer has its state in two 32 bit parameters:
+The state of the Keymap layer is determined by two 32 bit parameters:
-* **`default_layer_state`** indicates a base keymap layer(0-31) which is always valid and to be referred.
-* **`layer_state`** () has current on/off status of the layer on its each bit.
+* **`default_layer_state`** indicates a base keymap layer (0-31) which is always valid and to be referred (the default layer).
+* **`layer_state`** has current on/off status of each layer in its bits.
-Keymap has its state in two parameter **`default_layer`** indicates a base keymap layer(0-31) which is always valid and to be referred, **`keymap_stat`** is 16bit variable which has current on/off status of layers on its each bit.
-Keymap layer '0' is usually `default_layer` and which is the only valid layer and other layers is initially off after boot up firmware, though, you can configured them in `config.h`.
-To change `default_layer` will be useful when you switch key layout completely, say you want Colemak instead of Qwerty.
+Keymap layer '0' is usually `default_layer`, wither other layers initially off after booting up the firmware, although this can configured differently in `config.h`. It is useful to change `default_layer` when you completely switch a key layout, for example, if you want to switch to Colemak instead of Qwerty.
