Launchpad Help > Translations > Translators and Translation Teams in Launchpad

Overview

Launchpad Translators group is a set of teams and individuals working on translating software hosted in Launchpad. It is as a confederation of translation teams.

There is one Launchpad localization team appointed for each language and translating projects hosted by Launchpad into that language.

This is not yet another translations project. We belive that people translating software in the same language should work in the same team, even thought they are working at different software.

We encourage Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, GNOME, KDE, Mozilla, OpenOffice.org and all other translators dedicated to a specific project to join the localization team appointed for their language.

We encourage project maintainers to appoint Launchpad Translators group, as the translation group for their project and set the translation model to structured.
