Contribute as a Translator

If English is not your native language, you may wish to contribute as a translator. All services and documents that are visible to the user are translated by the I18n team. It does not matter which language you speak. We already have a lot of language teams who are very active. Our claim is more diversity, to support us in our work at I18n.

This section allows you to:

  • Help translate OpenStack, making it more available for users worldwide

Translation Platform

We use Zanata as the platform for translating strings in software projects and documentation. Zanata provides web user interfaces: you only need a web browser to start your translation contribution. Our translation platform is reachable on translate.openstack.org

Your membership application must be confirmed by the language coordinator. This may take some time. An e-mail with your request will be sent automatically.

Choose a project where you want to contribute with translating. Usually there is a translation plan with priorities on the start page.
