Translation of Ubuntu is coordinated through its web-based translation system: Rosetta.

Rosetta can be used with your UbuntuLinux login at this address:

Frequently asked questions on Rosetta usage can be accessed here:

 * ["RosettaFAQ"]
 * ["RosettaFAQs"]

You can report any bug or add any feature request for Rosetta at Malone:

A list of current bugs or feature requests can be found here (please consult before submitting any new report): [WWW] https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/malone/products/rosetta. Read also RosettaWishList.

For your offline work you can use programs such as POedit (universe), gtranslator (main), or a plain text editor like Gnome Editor - gedit (main).

Please, join the team you are interested on, but take care that it's more QA team than just a translation team. You don't need to join a team to translate Ubuntu, only to improve already existing translations.

If you don't see your team there, please mail us at rosetta@ubuntu.com and we will create it for you.

== Summary ==


A ''translation team'' groups people who work together on translations. Each distribution, project, product, and template may have its own translation team; a source package inherits the translation team of its distribution, a product inherits from its project, and a template from its product. The ''translation workforce'' for a software entity or translation template consists of the team for its parent product/project/distribution, plus extra teams created for each language for the entity

'''Spec:''' https://wiki.launchpad.canonical.com/TranslationTeam

= Goals =

The goal of the Ubuntu translation team is to make Ubuntu available in as many languages as possible.

Currently, key areas for translation work are

 * All items from the main repository, that includes:
 ** The installer
 ** Command line tools
 ** GNOME
 ** KDE

We should also coordinate with the DocumentationTeam about translating documentation.

= Resources =

We have a mailing list at http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators.

Visit the [:Rosetta:Rosetta wiki page] to get some documentation about our translation tool.

And translations for Hoary can be done here: https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/distros/ubuntu/hoary/+translations

== Rosetta Resources ==

 * ["Rosetta"]
 * RosettaWishList
 * ["RosettaFAQ"]
 * ["RosettaFAQs"]
 * RosettaReleaseAnnouncement

= Getting Started =

First, get Ubuntu running in your language. This way, you can easily see what work needs to be done.
  * Hint: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Next, find something to translate. This can be any program that isn't translated, or has a partial translation, or has translation bugs.

Once you've updated the translation, you need to find the right person to send it to. If you're not sure about this, the best thing to do is to file a bug in the Ubuntu bug tracker and attach the new translation.

= Teams =
