Welcome to the translation team portal. Here you should find links to useful resources, frequently asked questions, guidelines and a way to get in touch with people.

Getting Started

Translating programs to your native language will help countless people. It's easy to get started and we need your support. So read on.

Goals

The goal of the Ubuntu translation team is to make Ubuntu available in as many languages as possible at the highest quality. The most important packages are those from the main repository, prioritizing on the applications which the user is likely to see in the first few hours of usage.

We also coordinate with the DocumentationTeam about translating documentation.

Resources

New translator questions

Some questions made by new translators (which can come from very different areas and are not familiar with software translation) can be found here,

More advanced questions can be found here,

Language Teams

You can see the translation team list here: https://translations.launchpad.net/+groups/ubuntu-translators

Join the team you are interested in, 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 open a ticket at https://answers.launchpad.net/rosetta with all information about the language you want to translate into and we will create it for you.
