Purpose

The Ubuntu Translations Coordinators team is a group of community members actively involved in the Ubuntu translation process who take care of all the associated administrative and coordinative actions. They will also act as mediators and take a leading role if disputes or conflict situations regarding translations arise.

• Team members in Launchpad

• Contact

If you are instead looking for information on how to translate Ubuntu, you probably want to go to the general Ubuntu Translations site.
