Welcome to the Ubuntu Translation, Localization and Internationalization start page.
Here you should find links to useful resources, frequently asked questions, guidelines and a way to get in touch with people.
General information
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 following teams
DocumentationTeam - translating documentation
- Website team - translating Ubuntu Start page and other web pages
Translation of Ubuntu is done through its web-based translation system: Launchpad Translations.
