Thank you reading these words - it means you want to contribute to global Mozilla Support. More than half of all Firefox users speak a language other than English and we depend on contributors like you to make support available to people all over the world.

We are always happy to welcome new localizers to our group. Please have a look at our list of available locales, to see if we are already covering your language. In case it's not covered we would love to work with you to add it to our pages. If you see a language in the list, you should be able to click its name and see the Locale Leader(s) working on it. You can contact them to learn more about localizing SUMO articles into your language.

I want to be a localizer. What should I do?

First things first:

  • Once you have an account, please visit our l10n community forum and introduce yourself. Our community can answer all your questions and help you get started.

What if there already are people localizing into my language?

In case you see your language listed on the list of available locales you should click on the name of a Locale Leader and send him or her a private message to get in touch. Don't be shy, they will be happy to hear from you - the more, the merrier!

If the Locale Leader doesn't answer after a considering amount of time (a few days at least - they could be on holidays or very busy), try another Locale Leader or send a private message to Michał, who can help you get started.

What if there is no content available in my language?

If you don't see your language listed on the list of available locales, please send a private message to Michał and you will figure out together what to do about this.

Do you have any questions? Do you need assistance while localizing? Please tell us on the l10n forum.
