Translation and Review Guidelines

2026-02-27T01:49:36Z

Ariel:

__TOC__

'''Please review the tips and guidelines below prior to localizing projects. The following information will help you navigate the Weblate interface and more effectively and accurately translate and review projects.'''

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Translation and Review Workflow Policy===
:To ensure the highest level of quality and impartiality in our projects, we follow a double-blind workflow.
:This means that no single contributor is permitted to perform both the translation and the review of the same string or content.
:The translator's work is independently reviewed by a separate individual to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adherence to project-specific guidelines.
:This two-person process is a core component of our quality assurance and is a requirement for all Localization Lab projects.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Machine Translation and AI Assistance===
:We follow a "human-first" approach. Do not submit raw, unedited machine translations or AI outputs as final work. We expect human translation first - any AI or machine translation tools must be strictly supplemental, heavily reviewed, and validated by a fluent human speaker before being added to the target-language area, no matter what platform is being used or what project is being localized.

:Please note that our Weblate platform does not integrate AI or MT plugins. Any use of these tools occurs entirely off-platform at your own discretion.

:If you heavily rely on an external AI assistant to draft a translation, you must leave a comment on the specific string in Weblate (e.g., "Drafted with AI assistance") so reviewers can apply extra scrutiny. Never include tags or notes inside the actual translation text, as this will break the software code.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Communicate===
:'''''Leave '''[https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/user/translating.html#comments Comments]''' for other translators'''''
::Localization is a group effort. If you fix a minor typo, make the change directly. If you change key terminology or structure, leave a comment explaining the change and tag the previous translator using @username. This ensures others understand your edits and can learn from them.
::Leaving comments ensures that other contributors understand why you have made changes, can learn from them, and can make sure to apply the changes to future translations.
:'''Report issues to project maintainers:''' If you need more context or spot a fundamental issue with the source text, let the maintainer know. Use the "Comments" tab in Weblate to start a discussion or report an issue with the source string so developers are notified.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Read the ''Developer Notes'' and ''Context''===
:Developer notes and context are located in the "Source string info" section or "Context" tab in the Weblate editor. Always read and follow these instructions for the string you are translating.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Do Not Translate or Transliterate Application or Project Names===
:Do not translate or transliterate project, company or application names that do not have an official or widely adopted regional variation.

:Some projects have widely used and accepted translations or transliterations of their names. If this is the case in your language, feel free to use the localized version.
::'''Example:''' تويتر (''Transliteration of Twitter in Arabic'')
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Focus on Consistency===
:Ensure translations for recurring terminology and duplicate strings are consistent across a project. Weblate provides features to help manage consistency:
:'''Search:''' Use the search bar to find words and phrases across components and projects.
:'''Translation Memory:''' The "Translation memory" tab in the editor shows how similar strings were translated previously.
:'''Glossary:''' The "Glossary" tab displays approved translations for key terms. If a term is missing, Reviewers can add it directly to the glossary.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Watch Out for Placeholders, HTML, and Markup===
:'''Placeholders and variables:''' Strings often contain placeholders (e.g., %s, {user}) replacing dynamic content. Keep these unchanged. You can move them to where they make grammatical sense in your target language. If you are unsure what a placeholder represents, check the context or ask the maintainer.
:'''HTML and Unicode entities:''' Keep HTML entities (e.g.,  , <) exactly as they appear in the source, or replace them with their corresponding character if appropriate.
:'''New lines:''' Ensure your translation has the exact same number of new lines (\n) as the English source text.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Pay Attention to Read-Only and Failing Checks===
:Some strings are marked as read-only or flagged to be ignored. Do not force translations on these. Weblate has built-in quality checks that will trigger a ''failing check'' warning if your translation mismatches the source format, variables, or punctuation. Always review and resolve these warnings.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Punctuation, Capitalization, Double Spaces, and Typos===
:Small details matter. An inconsistent interface reduces user trust. While translating and reviewing, ensure you:
::Use correct and consistent punctuation.
::Use correct capitalization. Match the English source unless your language rules dictate otherwise.
::Add the correct number of brackets and parentheses.
::Do not add double spaces unless present in the original source. Weblate will flag trailing or multiple spaces as a failing check.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Reference Other Languages===
:If you are multilingual, you can view current translations in other languages to better understand the context. Use the "Other languages" tab in the Weblate editor. Remember to ultimately defer to the English source text, as other translations may not be fully reviewed.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Always Keep the End User in Mind===
:Ask yourself if a non-technical user would understand your translation without help. The goal is to make the text understandable and culturally appropriate, rather than translating literally.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"

== Welcome to Localization Lab Wiki ==

[https://localizationlab.org/ Localization Lab] is a global community of volunteer collaborators who support the translation and localization of Internet freedom tools: technologies that address security, privacy, and anonymity online to ensure that people around the world have safe avenues for accessing information on the Internet. Many of the tools translated by the Localization Lab help to protect the lives and physical security of individuals who do not have open access to information on the Internet, including tools like:

'''Tor:''' Free software and an open network that helps users defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and state security.
'''OONI Tools:''' Free software designed to measure internet censorship and network interference globally.
'''GlobaLeaks:''' An open-source whistleblowing framework that enables secure and anonymous reporting.

Localization Lab translates more than 60 tools into over 180 different languages and dialects and is currently expanding its translations of tools in Tagalog, Khmer, Vietnamese, Burmese, Laotian, Indonesian, Thai, and Chinese (simplified and traditional scripts). The Localization Lab community is growing, and this year will be coming together for community events, translation sprints and other fun activities that will push forward the localization of these tools.

'''Migration Notice:''' We are currently moving all our translation projects and resources from Transifex to our new home on Weblate.

If you are interested in getting involved and supporting this important work, let us know! Look through wiki resources, contribute and feel free to email us for more information.

The '''''Security Auditing Framework and Evaluation Template for Advocacy Groups (SAFETAG)''''' is a professional audit framework that adapts traditional penetration testing and risk assessment methodologies to be relevant to small/medium, non-profit, human rights or independent media organizations.
 
 
:'''What does it do?''' 
:SAFETAG is based upon a set of principles, activities, and best practices to allow digital security auditors to best support at-risk organizations by working with them to '''''identify the risks they face, the next steps they need to take to address them, and guidance on how to seek out support in the future.'''''
 
:'''Who is it for?''' 
:SAFETAG audits are targeted at serving '''''small scale civil society organizations or independent media houses''''' who have strong digital security concerns but do not have the funds to afford a traditional digital security audit. The traditional security-audit framework is based upon the assumption that an organization has the time, money, and capacity to aim for as close to perfect security as possible. Low-income at-risk groups have none of these luxuries. These audits are both far too expensive, and often produce output that is too complex for these organizations to act upon.

==Translation Guidelines==

'''Do not translate the following terms:'''
* SAFETAG

'''Resources'''

There are many resources that are added to Transifex that are not high-priority or are not necessary to translate, such as author names. Instead, we suggest focusing on the following:
* 'site' resource, contains website strings
* Resources prefixed 'content_activities_'
* Resources prefixed 'content_methods_'
* Resources prefixed 'content_guide_sections'

Languages that are sufficiently translated need to be manually switched on. Coordinate with Localization Lab or email info@safetag.org to plan to have new language versions enabled publicly.

If these priority resources reach the 50% threshold in a certain language, it will be eligible for release.

'''Retain the markdown in the original strings:'''
* '''**...**''' will make text bold
* Do not translate strings beginning and ending with '''< !--'''...'''-- >''' (without spaces).
::Ex: < !-- License -- > (without spaces)
* '''[...](...)''' creates a hyperlink in markdown. Copy the full string and only translate the contents of the square brackets '[...]'
* '''![...](...)''' is replaced by an image in markdown. Copy the full string and only translate the image alt text, the contents of the square brackets '[...]'
* '''^[^...]''' creates a footnote in markdown. Do not change the carrots, square brackets or edit the contents within the square brackets.

'''Helpful Tips:'''
* '''Use the "Concordance" Search.''' The concordance search allows you to search for terms and phrases across all of the projects in the Localization Lab Hub.

:For example, if you need to translate the title of a chapter in the SAFETAG guide, you will want to make sure the translation you use is exactly the same in every instance. Searching the title in the Concordance search will pull up every instance of that title in the project for you to reference.
* '''Use the Glossary.''' Reference the glossary and add to it to ensure the same terms are being used across the entire project.

:Anyone can add to or change the glossary however, so the terms listed are not always 100% vetted. If you have doubts or disagree with a term, consult with other contributors to solidify the translation.
* '''Use the "tags" filter.''' Use the "tags" filter in the Transifex editor to exclude strings that don't need to be translated ("notranslate" tag) or to filter by section of the SAFETAG guide (e.g.: "introduction")

==Style Guidelines==

===Tone===
SAFETAG is a professional guide and the tone should ideally reflect a formal tone. If you are translating into a language that has formal and informal forms of addressing the 2nd person, please keep this in mind when deciding which is more appropriate to use within this guide.

===Gender Neutrality===
Localization Lab encourages the use of inclusive language in localization. In some languages there are more widely accepted standards for use of gender neutral terms than in others.

For example, in English the use of the singular "they" as a replacement for "he" and "she" is now widely accepted.

If there are realistic gender neutral options that you can use, please consider using them in this translation. You can contact [mailto:maja@localizationlab.org Maja] to be put in touch with other translators working on the guide in your language so that you can gain consensus as a group.

Translation and Review Guidelines

Ariel:

__TOC__

'''Please review the tips and guidelines below prior to localizing projects. The following information will help you navigate the Transifex interface and more effectively and accurately translate and review projects.'''

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Translation and Review Workflow Policy===
:To ensure the highest level of quality and impartiality in our projects, we follow a double-blind workflow.
:This means that no single contributor is permitted to perform both the translation and the review of the same string or content.
:The translator's work is independently reviewed by a separate individual to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adherence to project-specific guidelines.
:This two-person process is a core component of our quality assurance and is a requirement for all Localization Lab projects.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Do not Machine Translate===
:Machine translation tools like Google Translate and Microsoft Translator Hub are useful resources, however they should never be used as the foundation of your translation, particularly long-form text which is less and less likely to be accurate the longer it is.

:Keep in mind that even if you heavily post-edit machine translations, the grammar, style, tone and terminology used in the machine translation can still greatly affect your translation.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Communicate===
:'''''Leave '''[https://docs.transifex.com/translation/tools-in-the-editor#comments Comments]''' for other translators'''''
::Localization in the Localization Lab community is a group effort! If you are simply fixing a typo or grammatical error, feel free to make the changes necessary without leaving a comment. If you are changing key terminology or significantly changing the structure of a translation, leave a comment for the previous translator to briefly explain the change. Be sure the ''mention'' them by including @ followed by their username in your comment.
::Leaving comments ensures that other contributors understand why you have made changes, can learn from them, and can make sure to apply the changes to future translations.
:'''''Leave '''[https://docs.transifex.com/translation/tools-in-the-editor#issues Issues]''' for project maintainers'''''
::If you don't understand what a string means, need more context or there is a typo or fundamental issue with the source text, let the project maintainer know! You can do this by creating an ''Issue''. Developers and project maintainers are notified of issues so that they can be addressed efficiently.

::There are several priority levels to chose from when creating an issue:
::*'''Low:''' Minor and cosmetic changes to a source string.
::* '''Normal:''' Typos, questions or changes affecting the meaning of a source string that may hinder translation.
::* '''High:''' Significant issues with the localizability or coherence of the source string.
::* '''Critical:''' Issues with the source string that might break the software.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Read the ''Developer Notes'' and ''Translation Instructions'' in Transifex===
:The ''Developer Notes'' and ''Instructions'' are located in the Web Editor in between the source text and the translation text field. Make sure to read and follow any available instructions for the string you are translating.

[[File:Developer notes.png|500px|center|Example of ''Developer Notes''.]]
 
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Do Not Translate or Transliterate Application or Project Names===
:Do not translate or transliterate project, company or application names that do not have an official or widely adopted regional variation.

:Some projects have widely used and accepted translations or transliterations of their names. If this is the case in your language, feel free to use the localized version.
::'''Example:''' تويتر (''Transliteration of Twitter in Arabic'')

|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Focus on Consistency===
In addition to recurring terminology, you will often encounter strings that are duplicate or directly reference other strings. It is important to ensure these translations are consistent across the entirety of a project.
::'''Example:''' If "Create Account" appears in a string in a project, use the [https://docs.transifex.com/translation/translating-with-the-web-editor#searching-and-filtering-for-strings filters] in the Web Editor to see where else "Create Account" appears in the rest of the project resources and make sure the translation is consistent.

[[File:Reference_to_another_string_1.png|500px|center|Reference to "Create Account" in a string.]] 
[[File:Reference_to_another_string_2.png|500px|center|Original "Create Account" string.]] 

:Transifex has several features to help you manage consistency across translations:
:* The '''[https://docs.transifex.com/translation/using-translation-memory-and-concordance-search#concordance-search Concordance Search]''' allows you to search for words and phrases across multiple resources within the same project and across different projects within the same organization. You can use it to see how something is translated in different strings and contexts.
:* The '''[https://docs.transifex.com/projects/search-strings Search Strings]''' feature in Transifex allows you to search words and phrases across all Localization Lab projects using more filters than are available in the simple Concordance Search. You can filter matches by project, resource, target language, source language, tag, date etc.
:* Web Editor '''[https://docs.transifex.com/translation/translating-with-the-web-editor#searching-and-filtering-for-strings Filters]''' allow you to filter and search strings across one or multiple resources in a project. Among many options, you can filter by word or phrase in the source text or in the translation text.
:* The '''[https://docs.transifex.com/translation/using-translation-memory-and-concordance-search#understanding-translation-memory-suggestions Suggestions tab]''' in the web editor lets you view translations from the Localization Lab Translation Memory from other strings and resources in related projects. Translations of strings which are up to 60% the same will appear in this tab. Referencing these suggestions can help you maintain consistency across projects.
:* The Localization Lab '''[https://docs.transifex.com/translation/using-the-glossary Glossary]''' is very robust in English, however not all languages have translations for each term. Use the ''Glossary'' tab to double check translation of a term. If the term is not there, select ''View Glossary'' to [https://docs.transifex.com/setup/glossary/adding-terms add the translation to the glossary].
:::Key project terms will have the label "[project name]" in the ''Comments'' field for the term.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|

===Watch out for Placeholders, HTML and Unicode Character Entities, and Markup Language.===
====Placeholders and Variables====
::Many project strings contain '''placeholders''' which may replace [https://www.quackit.com/html/tags/ HTML], [https://www.quackit.com/xml/tutorial/about_xml.cfm XML] or words and numbers that change within the application's interface. '''It is important to keep these placeholders unchanged in the translation'''. You can move the placeholders depending on where they grammatically make the most sense in your language. 
::Hover your mouse over the variable in the English source text to see what the placeholder is replacing.
[[File:variable.png|500px|center|Variables in Transifex]] 
::Sometimes a variable will not be recognized by Transifex and will be editable in the web editor. If you see an element within curly brackets, you can assume that in most cases you should '''not translate''' anything inside the brackets. Double check the ''Developer Notes'' to see if there are any special notes about how to treat the content in brackets. If you are still unsure, create an "Issue" for the string so that a project maintainer can clarify.
[[File:Curly bracket variable.png|500px|center|Curly bracket variables in Transifex]] 
::Placeholders will often provide hints as to what they replace in the app's user interface. If you cannot determine what the placeholder will replace in the app and as a result, don't know how to translate the surrounding content, '''create an issue''' and ask the project maintainer.
::Below, the placeholder '''"{language}"''' will be replaced by the name of a language.
[[File:Language Variable Check.png|500px|center|Language Variable in Transifex]] 
::Below you can see how the variables '''"{author}"''', '''"{title}"''' and '''"{status}"''' are replaced by different text in the [[Check]] user interface.
[[File:Status Variable Check.png|300px|center|Status and Author Variables in Check]] [[File:Author_Title_Variables.png|300px|center|Author and Title Variables in Check]] 
[[File:Context for Check Variables.png|300px|center|Context for Check Variables]] 
::Review the [https://docs.transifex.com/translation/html-files#in-the-new-editor Transifex documentation] to learn how to manage placeholders in the translation editor. 

====HTML and Unicode Character Entities & Mark Down Language====
::Sometimes an HTML character entity will not be recognized and replaced by Transifex. In these cases, you can either copy the exact character entity or you can replace it with what it corresponds to. 
::You can look up HTML entities on the [https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_html_entities_4.asp W3 website].

::'''Examples:'''
::* '''&nbsp;''' is a non-breaking space
::* '''&lt;''' is equivalent to <
::* '''&gt;''' is equivalent to >
[[File:HTML character entity 2.png|500px|center|HTML variable in Transifex]] 
[[File:HTML character entity 1.png|500px|center|HTML variable in Transifex]] 

====New lines====
::The little blue arrows in the source text are equivalent to a new line (''/n''). Make sure to input new lines where indicated in the source text. Do so by simply selecting the ''Enter'' or ''Return'' key on your keyboard. The number of new lines in the translation should be the exact same as the number in the English source text. 
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Pay Attention to the "notranslate" Tag===
:Some strings will be assigned the "notranslate" tag and you will find a special message at the bottom of the translation input field. These strings should be copied ''exactly'' using the copy icon in the web editor. If you do not copy these strings exactly, Transifex will give you an error warning.

::''The translation in the example below is '''incorrect''' because this string should be an exact copy of the English source text.''

[[File:Notranslate.png|500px|center|Notranslate tag in Transifex]] 
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Punctuation, Capitalization, Double Spaces and Typos===
The small details make a big difference in the end product. Individuals are less likely to trust a tool whose interface is messy or has inconsistent punctuation and capitalization, even if the translation itself is correct.

:'''While you are translating and reviewing, make sure that you:'''
:*Use the correct and consistent punctuation;
:*Use correct and consistent capitalization. If there are individual terms that are capitalized in the English source, they are most likely capitalized for a reason. Double check to see if you should also capitalize in the target language translation;
:*Add the correct number of brackets, parentheses and curly brackets in your translation; and
:*Do not add double spaces unless they are present in the original source content. You can turn on "Display Spaces" in your [https://docs.transifex.com/translation/translating-with-the-web-editor#editor-settings Transifex Editor Settings] which will help you visualize spaces in the source text and your translation.

::[[File:Display_Spaces.png|500px|center|Display Spaces Transifex]]
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"
|
===Reference other Languages===
If you are multi-lingual, you can view both the English source text and current translations in another language that you speak. This can be helpful when trying to understand the context and meaning of the English source text.

You can add an additional source language through the [https://docs.transifex.com/translation/translating-with-the-web-editor#editor-settings Transifex Editor Settings] in the web editor.

'''Please remember''' that the current translations in another language may or may not be reviewed by a trusted contributor, and you should ultimately defer to the English source text.
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px; width: Auto; background-color:#ffcccc;"

===Always Keep the End User in Mind===
Ask yourself: "If my 65-year-old parent read this (who has a total of 3 apps on their phone and uses only one of them on a weekly basis), would they understand this without anyone's help?".

The goal is not to literally translate words and sentences, but to make the text understandable - while still maintaining accuracy - for people coming from different linguistic, cultural and technical backgrounds.

== Welcome to Localization Lab Wiki ==

The [https://localizationlab.org/ Localization Lab] is a global community of volunteer collaborators who support the translation and localization of Internet freedom tools: technologies that address security, privacy and anonymity online to ensure that people around the world have safe avenues for accessing information on the Internet. Many of the tools translated by the Localization Lab help to protect the lives and physical security of individuals who do not have open access to information on the Internet, including tools like:

'''Tor:''' Free software and an open network that helps users defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and state security.
'''Psiphon:''' A censorship circumvention tool providing an extra layer of security when using open WiFi networks or accessing blocked sites.

The Localization Lab translates more than 60 tools into over 180 different languages and dialects and is currently to expand its translations of tools in Tagalog, Khmer, Vietnamese, Burmese, Laotian, Indonesian, Thai and Chinese (simplified and traditional scripts). The Localization Lab community is growing and this year will be coming together for community events, translation sprints and other fun activities that will push forward the localization of these tools.

If you are interested in getting involved and supporting this important work, let us know! Look through wiki resources, contribute and feel free to email us for more information.

=About=
<div style="float:left; margin-right:1.0em">[[File:SAFETAG.png|75px|center|SAFETAG Logo]]</div>
The '''''Security Auditing Framework and Evaluation Template for Advocacy Groups (SAFETAG)''''' is a professional audit framework that adapts traditional penetration testing and risk assessment methodologies to be relevant to small/medium, non-profit, human rights or independent media organizations.
 
 
:'''What does it do?''' 
:SAFETAG is based upon a set of principles, activities, and best practices to allow digital security auditors to best support at-risk organizations by working with them to '''''identify the risks they face, the next steps they need to take to address them, and guidance on how to seek out support in the future.'''''
 
:'''Who is it for?''' 
:SAFETAG audits are targeted at serving '''''small scale civil society organizations or independent media houses''''' who have strong digital security concerns but do not have the funds to afford a traditional digital security audit. The traditional security-audit framework is based upon the assumption that an organization has the time, money, and capacity to aim for as close to perfect security as possible. Low-income at-risk groups have none of these luxuries. These audits are both far too expensive, and often produce output that is too complex for these organizations to act upon.
 
'''Website:''' https://safetag.org/

==Translation Guidelines==

'''Do not translate the following terms:'''
* SAFETAG

'''Retain the markdown in the original strings:'''
* '''**...**''' will make text bold
* Do not translate strings beginning and ending with '''< !--'''...'''-- >''' (without spaces).
::Ex: < !-- License -- > (without spaces)
* '''[...](...)''' creates a hyperlink in markdown. Copy the full string and only translate the contents of the square brackets '[...]'
* '''![...](...)''' is replaced by an image in markdown. Copy the full string and only translate the image alt text, the contents of the square brackets '[...]'
* '''^[^...]''' creates a footnote in markdown. Do not change the carrots, square brackets or edit the contents within the square brackets.

'''Helpful Tips:'''
* '''Use the "Concordance" Search.''' The concordance search allows you to search for terms and phrases across all of the projects in the Localization Lab Hub.

:For example, if you need to translate the title of a chapter in the SAFETAG guide, you will want to make sure the translation you use is exactly the same in every instance. Searching the title in the Concordance search will pull up every instance of that title in the project for you to reference.
* '''Use the Glossary.''' Reference the glossary and add to it to ensure the same terms are being used across the entire project.

:Anyone can add to or change the glossary however, so the terms listed are not always 100% vetted. If you have doubts or disagree with a term, consult with other contributors to solidify the translation.
* '''Use the "tags" filter.''' Use the "tags" filter in the Transifex editor to exclude strings that don't need to be translated ("notranslate" tag) or to filter by section of the SAFETAG guide (e.g.: "introduction")

==Style Guidelines==

===Tone===
SAFETAG is a professional guide and the tone should ideally reflect a formal tone. If you are translating into a language that has formal and informal forms of addressing the 2nd person, please keep this in mind when deciding which is more appropriate to use within this guide.

===Gender Neutrality===
Localization Lab encourages the use of inclusive language in localization. In some languages there are more widely accepted standards for use of gender neutral terms than in others.

For example, in English the use of the singular "they" as a replacement for "he" and "she" is now widely accepted.

If there are realistic gender neutral options that you can use, please consider using them in this translation. You can contact [mailto:maja@localizationlab.org Maja] to be put in touch with other translators working on the guide in your language so that you can gain consensus as a group.

The '''''Security Auditing Framework and Evaluation Template for Advocacy Groups (SAFETAG)''''' is a professional audit framework that adapts traditional penetration testing and risk assessment methodologies to be relevant to small/medium, non-profit, human rights or independent media organizations.
 
 
:'''What does it do?''' 
:SAFETAG is based upon a set of principles, activities, and best practices to allow digital security auditors to best support at-risk organizations by working with them to '''''identify the risks they face, the next steps they need to take to address them, and guidance on how to seek out support in the future.'''''
 
:'''Who is it for?''' 
:SAFETAG audits are targeted at serving '''''small scale civil society organizations or independent media houses''''' who have strong digital security concerns but do not have the funds to afford a traditional digital security audit. The traditional security-audit framework is based upon the assumption that an organization has the time, money, and capacity to aim for as close to perfect security as possible. Low-income at-risk groups have none of these luxuries. These audits are both far too expensive, and often produce output that is too complex for these organizations to act upon.

==Directive générale de traduction==

Les traductions proposées par le Labo de localisation sont en français dit international, sans calques ni anglicismes. Elles suivent les recommandations des différents organismes francophones internationaux, dont la Commission d’enrichissement de la langue française de France et l’Office québécois de la langue française. Sauf cas particulier, ce ne sont pas des traductions fr-FR, fr-CA ni fr-BE, mais fr. La préférence sera toujours donnée à un terme qui existe en français plutôt qu’à son équivalent en anglais. Bien que nous préconisions une rédaction épicène, le masculin sera utilisé afin de ne pas alourdir les traductions. Pour les cas où le genre n’est pas imposé, soit le masculin soit le féminin seront utilisés.

==Ressources terminologiques et linguistiques==

[[French Localization Lab Unified Glossary|Lexique unifié en français du Labo de localisation]]

Le lexique unifié du Labo de Localisation est une création évolutive. Il résulte actuellement de la fusion des lexiques de nos différents projets. Nous vous invitons à transmettre vos suggestions, rétroactions et questions directement par courriel à ao[à]localizationlab[point]org.

==Règles typographiques à utiliser pour les projets du Labo de localisation==
===Ponctuation===
Transifex accepte les espaces particulières suivantes. Il vous suffit de les copier-coller dans l’éditeur Web de Transifex. Transifex vous permet de visualiser les espaces. Pour activer cette option, rendez-vous dans : Paramètres (engrenage en haut à droite) > Préférences de l’éditeur > Afficher les espaces. Attention, il ne faut pas activer le mode éditeur brut, car cela empêcherait la conversion automatique des espaces par Transifex pour les différents formats de fichiers utilisés en amont.

* ? Une espace fine insécable sera utilisée devant le point d’interrogation : Mot ?
* ! Une espace fine insécable sera utilisée devant le point d’exclamation : Mot !
* : Une espace insécable sera utilisée devant le deux-points : Mot :
* ; Une espace fine insécable sera utilisée devant le point-virgule : Mot ;

===Guillemets===
* On utilisera les guillemets français pour des mots français ou des mots d’autres langues : (« Mot »)
* Une espace insécable sera utilisée après « et devant » : « Mot »
* Si l’on doit guillemeter un élément d’un passage déjà entre guillemets français, on utilisera successivement les guillemets anglais doubles (“mot”), puis les guillemets anglais simples (‘mot’) pour distinguer les différents niveaux : « J’avais déclaré à la Cour : “Elle l’a accusé d’être ‘malhonnête’ devant sa directrice.” Ce n’est donc pas moi qui l’ai dénoncé. »

===Apostrophe===
L’apostrophe typographique ’ sera toujours utilisée.

===Points de suspension===
Les points de suspension seront toujours représentés par le caractère … et non par trois points consécutifs.

==Langues des pages et sites Web cités en référence dans les chaînes traduites en français==

Si une page ou un site Web cité en référence dans une chaîne traduite n’est pas proposé en français et qu’il ne l’était probablement pas à court terme, on ajoutera « (page en anglais) » ou « (site en anglais) » immédiatement après le lien, par exemple : Veuillez consulter notre de blogue : https://blog.torproject.org/bittorrent-over-tor-isnt-good-idea (page en anglais).

Dutch

Ariel:

Dutch is the first language of about 24 million people, and a second language to another 5 million people, making it one of the 40 most spoken languages in the world. It is an official language in the Netherlands, Suriname and the Belgium. Dutch is closely related to English and German, and because Dutch is not a world language, most people with Dutch as their first language are also proficient in English. Never the less not all who speak Dutch are proficient in English, and localization to Dutch helps create a better understanding of the app / website or whatever resource is being translated.
The Dutch language plays a significant role in it's cultural differences: The Dutch often view themselves as more nuanced and reserved than for example Americans. The language is typically more descriptive and less figurative than English.

You can also comment on strings in Transifex, but please tag a reviewer for your language, because Transifex comments can otherwise easily go unnoticed.

==Dutch style guide==
Ask yourself: "If my 65 year old mother read this (who has a total of 3 apps on her phone and uses only one of them on a weekly basis), would she understand this without anyone's help?". The goal is not to translate words, the goal is to make the text understandable to people who grew up in a different country.

===Signal Messenger===
''This Style guide is a result of reviewers communicating about inconsistencies and solutions to those. As the result of previous discussions we have come up with the following style guide for Dutch localization of Signal messenger. The style may deviate from other Localization Lab project, because no two projects are the same. We will try to make this style guide easier to read in the future.''

* The most important rule to always keep in question yourself who your audience will be and whether they will fully understand it. Yes, you are doing this work on behave of the Signal developers, but your audience are Signal users. Place yourself in the frame of mind of a Signal user who doesn't really know much about Signal and is trying to understand his options. Don't just translate literary, translate in such a way that it makes sense, is accurate, and is easy to read for the end user.
* Any translator or reviewer should be using the Signal Beta app, so you can see the new strings as soon as possible and know where they occur in the app. If you don't know the context, you can't write good localizations.
* What we are doing is localization, not just translation. That means translations do not have to match precisely to the same words in English; sometimes the cultural differences are a reason to write a different text in Dutch, meaning different words and/or a different structure of the sentence.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Example: Don't try to translate literally
|-
! English original !! Avoid !! Instead use
|-
| Signal needs location services enabled to discover and connect with your old Android device. || - || Om je oude Android apparaat te kunnen detecteren en om er verbinding mee te maken is het nodig dat locatiebepaling op je apparaat is ingeschakeld.
|-
| - || Om het in te schakelen, tik op de schuifknop zodat hij blauw wordt. || Tik op de schuifknop zodat hij blauw wordt om meekijkpreventie in te schakelen.
|}

* Avoid referencing earlier mentions with articles, instead write out the full sentence. Example: do not write "Om het in the schakelen" instead write "om meekijkpreventie in te schakelen". Also avoid "deze" "dit" and "die" wherever possible.
* For quotation marks we use opening and closing quotation marks as such: “ ” . Note that these are not the same quotation marks we see in the English text strings. There is no key for these on your keyboard, so you might want to learn a shortcut to type them, or you can copy paste them wherever you need them.
* Follow proper Dutch spelling, for example don't write "log bestand" but instead write "logbestand".
* Dutch people like clear no bullshit language. Avoid figure of speech, try to be direct and factual.
* Try to write strings in such a way that your grandfather and grandmother will also understand Signal, prefer Dutch words over English terminology. If a word is unfamiliar to someone, it helps if it's a Dutch word and sound similar to other Dutch words which they do know the meaning of.
* On preference / setting descriptions: If the sentence contains any punctuation, end the sentence with a period. If the description does not contain any punctuation, don't end the sentence with a period.
* About the structure of sentences: we highly recommend you read this lesson about word order in Dutch language, even if Dutch is your first language. Many Dutch people also get it wrong. [https://www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=WordOrder.00] Note that it's not just one page, there is a next page button on the bottom right and there are quite a lot of examples of different cases on that site. An example: Don't write "Deze personen kunnen door jou niet direct worden toegevoegd aan de groep." instead write "Deze personen kunnen door jou niet direct aan de groep worden toegevoegd.".
* About "je, jij, jou, jouw, u and uw" because Signal is a messenger you use day to day we think it's most fitting to use informal pronouns, so we don't use "u and uw". We use "je" wherever there is no ambiguity / possible confusion about the meaning of the text. We use "jij, jou or jouw" if the string does not occur in a sentence or if there is any ambiguity.
* Use the ellipsis symbol instead of three lose dots: … . If it is breaking of a word use no white space: Ben je me nu al verge… If it breaks of a sentence use a whitespace between the last word and the ellipsis: Ik heb het potje vet al op tafel …
* Make sure the subject is repeated in every new sentence, do not refer back to a previous sentence. We do this to keep texts easy to read and understand. An example: do not write "Turing this on allows you to receive emails. They will contain information about your account." instead write "Turning this on allows you to receive emails. The emails you will receive contain information about your account.".
* Avoid anglicisms, our job is to localize the content so it can be understood by as many people as possible, that includes people who don't understand even the most common of English words.
* For units we follow the Si-standards. That means we translate 20MB as 20 MB with a white space. Kilobytes as kB. Note that Signal does not use KiB, MiB etc, because Signal is following the same units as the Android operating system. The same rule applies to other units such as 10s becoming 10 s. Abbreviations for minutes, months and weeks are not si units but we agreed to translate those as "min", "mnd" and "w". Capitalization matters.
* The text strings for the app store sometimes contain wordplay. If a good wordplay in Dutch can't be found, than rather leave the word joke out and just factually describe the change.
* Use pronoun + "wie" instead of "die" wherever possible. Read [https://taaladvies.net/taal/advies/vraag/1564 Taaladvies about wie/die] about where to use "wie" and where to use "die". This is a style choice we made to make complex sentences easier to comprehend.
* Use "van wie", "bij wie", "op wie" and "voor wie" instead of "waarvan", "waarmee", "waarop" and "waarvoor" wherever possible.
* For texts on buttons in Android and Desktop use the infinitive (infinitief) grammatical mood (werkwoordswijs), do not use the imperative (gebiedende wijs) because we don't want to give the user the impression that he is recommended or required to press the button. It is not imperative you clikc the button, it is merely an option you have. This is the norm in almost all Dutch translations also outside of the Signal project. Only iOS still often uses the imperative, so for iOS we have not yet decided which form we wish to use. Examples: Do use "Aan gesprek deelnemen", "Aan Signal doneren" and "Alice toevoegen". Do not use "Voeg Alice toe" or "Deelnemen aan gesprek" or "Doneren aan Signal".
* Only capitalize the first letter. Unlike English we don't capitalize every word in Dutch.
* Try to stick to Dutch words, even if you see English words being used in other apps: "timer" becomes "tijdspanne", "admin" "beheerder", "checkbox" "selectievakje of aankruisvakje", "updaten" "bijwerken", "icon" "pictogram", "non-profit" "organisatie zonder winstoogmerk", "error" "fout", "database""databank" etc. You can find words like these listed in the Transifex Glossary for the Dutch Signal project.
* Beware of capitalization: use "QR-code" do not use "QR-Code" or "qr-code". "WiFi" is spelled different in Dutch: "wifi" all lowercase and without a dash. You can find words like these listed in the Transifex Glossary for the Dutch Signal project.
* Use [https://onzetaal.nl/taaladvies/signaalwoorden-lijst/ signal words] (words that indicate summation, contradiction etc.) wherever possible.
* Use formal verbs where their is no difference in meaning: use "je kunt" not "je kan". Howerver for "kun je" versus "kan je" there is a minor difference: "kan je" is more proposing while "kun je" is more forcefully suggestive. Therefore we use "kan je" instead of "kun je", and "zal je" instead of "zul je". [https://taalhelden.org/bericht/het-kan-je-kun-je https://taalhelden.org/bericht/het-kan-je-kun-je]
* Don't forget that although in English articles can be omitted, in Dutch it's not an accepted practice to omit the article. For example: "Playback time of audio attachment" should be localized as "Afspeellengte van HET audiobericht".
* Don't use possessive pronounce for things the user isn't possessing: Don't write "Open Signal-Desktop en gebruik de sneltoetsen om je tekstgrootte aan te passen.", instead write "Open Signal-Desktop en gebruik de sneltoetsen om de tekstgrootte aan te passen.". Users don't have font size, Signal has font size.
* We consistently use only the ‘rode werkwoordsvolgorde’, never the ‘groene werkwoordsvolgorde’. This means we never write "... vertrokken is." but instead always write "... is vertrokken.". For more information about verb order: [https://onzetaal.nl/taaladvies/rode-groene-volgorde/ https://onzetaal.nl/taaladvies/rode-groene-volgorde/]
* Do not hesitate to make use of 'old' or 'formal' words or grammer wherever it reduces ambiguity. For example the phrase "Journalist Bergman
Zag tijdens een interview met De Koning deze foto op zijn bureau staan." For most readers it wil be clear that the photo was on the Kings desk, but some may understand it in the litteral sense and understand that the photo was on the desk of journalist Berman. The solution to prevent this ambiguity is to use grammar whoch is perfectly correct, but isn't used often anymore: "Journalist Berman zag tijdens een interview met De Koning deze foto of diens bureau staan." (In case of a female person it would be "dier" instead of "diens". Don't shy away from formal language, avoiding ambiguoty is of a hogher priority. Just because some people don't oike the sound of it doesn't mean it's wrongz at least everyone understands it without confusion or misinterpretation.

Extra example:
* Don't localize "Other Signal users who are saved to your phone's contact list." as "Andere Signal-gebruikers die zijn opgeslagen in jouw telefoons contactenlijst." but instead localize it as "Andere Signal-gebruikers van wie het telefoonnummer voor komt in de systeemcontactenlijst van jouw telefoon."

===Other projects===
For other projects the style has not yet been written down, however some translators seem to hold on to [http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/7/e/47e135ad-15d7-4491-be78-369804f0d333/nld-nld-StyleGuide.pdf a style guide from Microsoft].

==Tips for consistency==
* Use the suggestions tab in Transifex to see if a similar string has already been translated before
* Use the glossary tab to see if a particular word has a suggestion
* Always read the comments on the string
* Look at the string key, to see what it is called in the code
* If you want, you could take a look at the source code in GitHub. Just reading the titles of recent commits could already give you a helpful clue.
* If you are not sure about the context, ask other translators in the comments, leave the string untranslated or give it your best guess and come back later to review it.
* ANY time you edit a translation on a project with multiple separate resources, make sure to open all the resources and check if the same string exists elsewhere to apply the exact same edit there. An example would be when you edit a string in the Android Signal messenger app, make sure to also check if the same string exists in the Desktop app, the iOS app, the website or the support center. It's not easy for other reviewers to spot the inconsistency later, so do this right away at the very moment you make an edit.
* Be extra careful with plurals in Transifex, it's easy to miss one of the plural forms when reviewing. You can check all plurals again by searching for pluralized:yes
* Found a spelling mistake, grammar mistake, word order mistake or some word which is better substituted with another word? Don't just correct it when you see it and move on, check all the strings on all the resources for the same mistake or imperfection and correct that mistake on all the strings where it occurs. The moment you noticed something is the only opportunity to come up with a consistent solution across all the strings.

==How to review==
* If there is a Beta version of the website or app you are translating, you should probably be using it so you have early knowledge of where the string will occur , in what context, and how much space is available
* See if the string provides clear information, and that users don't have to guess about its meaning.
* Make sure all the punctuation is accurate, the capitalization is accurate, there are no double white spaces, and no missing white spaces
* Make sure all symbols and next line match with the original string
* Make sure the vocabulary matches that of other strings
* Make sure the structure of the sentence matches that of other strings
* Make sure the exact same phrase, with the same vocabulary and same sentence structure is used across various projects of the same organization, for example in the case of Signal messenger, across the iOS app, Desktop app, Android app, Support Center, Website and App store.
* Make sure the string fits in the available space. However if you feel the available space is insufficient, do not come up with some unreadable string, but instead contact the developer about creating additional space for translated strings.
* Don't just look at untranslated string, some strings are automatically translated by Transifex but might still be wrong because the context requires a different translation. use source_updated_after:dd-mm-yyyy to find all the new strings. Also check for edits made by others, using translation_updated_after:dd-mm-yyyy .

==Language Resources==
''Please use the following resources to guide the style, tone and terminology you use across Localization Lab supported projects. Note: These resources are not are not final. If you disagree with terminology or grammar choices, please escalate the issue to the Localization Lab team for further discussion with other Dutch language team contributors.''

===Grammar and word order in sentences===

* Dutch article debunking myths about 'new grammar rules': https://vrttaal.net/nieuws/kranten-haal-het-nepnieuws-over-de-ans-van-jullie-site

===Style and tone===
* First follow any style guide you find here on this wiki for language and project you are working on
* If you are missing something, contact other translators
* If you search for style advise from other websites, avoid getting it from tech companies who make up their own version of Dutch language based on marketing rather than proper standard Dutch. Also avoid other wiki's which are often written by opinionated people who are not representative for the language. That doesn't mean you can't read them and learn from them, but take it with a grain of salt.

===Technical terminology===
We prefer to use the glossary in Transifex. Localization lab also has a general Glossary, although we don't really use it much at this time:
[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OPyeWDq2rtPf9fEpCLRpHl9Hn--OfFbWLbrGtZx3lYI/edit?usp=sharing Dutch Unified Localization Lab Glossary]. The document is maintained by Erin (a localization lab employee). If you wish to add comments, edits or suggest new entries, do so using the "Comment" feature in the spreadsheet.

==Language varieties==
Dutch language varieties do not have their own glossary, style guide or terminology. All of these languages varieties follow Dutch (nl). there is generally no use in setting up resources for nl_NL, nl_BE or any other nl_* region, project maintainers should simply set up nl.

===Dutch in Belgium / Flemish (nl_BE)===
Flemish people may live in a different geographical region but are in a language union with and are in the same language region as Dutch people, therefore there are usually no differences between nl_NL and nl_BE. Projects should be localized to standardized Dutch (nl)(Standaardnederlands / Algemeen Nederlands). In the rare case some translation isn't clear to Flemish speakers, they can request to phrase the translation differently, but at all times the translation should conform to standard Dutch.

There is a Wikipedia page on the differences between these language varieties, however some of the differences are being exaggerated: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_verschillen_tussen_het_Nederlands_in_Belgi%C3%AB,_Nederland_en_Suriname

===Other varieties===
Below you find a list of other language varieties along with their ISO 3166-1 code:
* nl_AW Dutch (Aruba)
* nl_BQ Dutch (Caribbean Netherlands (Bonaire, Saba, Sint Eustatius))
* nl_CW Dutch (Curaçao)
* nl_SR Dutch (Suriname)
* nl_SX Dutch (Sint Maarten)

==Similar languages==
If you want to localize a project to a language which has strong similarities to Dutch and if there already exist good quality translations to Dutch, than it is recommended to base your translations of Dutch rather than English or an other source language. This may make translations faster, but more importantly it also keeps the texts consistent, so that someone who lives just across the border, or someone who has family in the other region, doesn't see completely different texts for the same project. In Transifex there is an option to swap which language you are using as the source language for your translations; you will find it by clicking the setting icon in the top right of the translation interface. Any strings that have not yet been translated to Dutch will automatically still be shown as the original source language for the project (usually English).

===West Frisian (fy_NL)===
Frisian is a language of its own, but because most if Frisians actually live in the Netherlands and have Dutch as their first or second language, and because the Frisian localization community is very small, Frisian is merged with the Dutch localization community. Of course they have their own style, terminology and glossary but for most projects there are too few translators available to maintain those. Project maintainers should add Frisian (fy) to their resources to offer Frisians a chance to preserve their language and culture.

===Afrikaans (af)===
Afrikaans is a language on its own with strong similarities to Dutch. It is spoken in the southern regions of Africa and it has its own localization community unrelated to Dutch. Most Afrikaans speakers have English as their first or second language, so there usually aren't many translators who feel the need to localize a project to Afrikaans. Never the less Afrikaans has plenty of speakers who prefer Afrikaans over English, and project maintainers should add Afrikaans (af) to their resources.

=Translation References=
==Glossaries==

==Style Guides==

In an effort to have uniform Greek translations, we urge translators to follow these guidelines. These are guidelines and not rules, and the translators should also take care of the uniformity of the translations for each project.

===Addressing the user===

When addressing the user, you can use singular (ενικός) or formal plural (πληθυντικός ευγενείας) forms. Usually, Greek translators choose to use the formal plural, but in projects that try to have a more informal user experience, singular might be more appropriate. Make sure that your choice is consistent throughout the project, in order to keep the translation clean and not confusing.

===Gendered words===

When referencing a person of unknown gender (for example "''the user''"), the classical way of translating is by only using the masculine forms of nouns, pronouns and adjectives (for example "''ο χρήστης''"). Despite the widespread use of this approach, there has been criticism that it is very patriarchal and excludes females. A different, more inclusive approach is to use both genders (for example "''ο χρήστης ή η χρήστης''" or "''ο/η χρήστης''"). There is a specific [http://www.minadmin.gov.gr/wp-content/uploads/20160301_odigos_mi_sexistikis_.pdf regulation on non-sexist language usage] by the Greek secretariat of gender equality towards all public entities, urging them to use inclusive forms ("''η/ο χρήστρια/της''") as much as possible.

However, the inclusive approach might not be appropriate at cases where there are character length restrictions, which are already an issue when translating to Greek (Greek words tend to be longer than English ones). In such cases, using masculine-only forms cannot be avoided.

===Commonly used English words===

Some technical words are very commonly used in their English form in Greek. To keep the translations shorter and easier to understand quickly, it is more appropriate to leave some words in English, ensuring uniformity throughout.

Examples:
*Email

===Capitalization===

For titles and other cases where there is a phrase where the first letter of each word is capitalized (for example "''Privacy Policy''"), the proper way to capitalize in Greek is to only capitalize the first letter of the phrase ("''Πολιτική απορρήτου''"). There are exceptions to this rule, when the phrase/title includes words that are capitalized anyway (names of people, organizations, countries, etc).

So for example the following title "''The United Kingdom Will Leave The European Union By The End Of The Year''" translates to "''Το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο θα αποχωρήσει από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση μέχρι το τέλος του έτους''".

Communication Platforms

2024-01-04T18:20:11Z

<div style="float:right; margin-left:2.5em">__TOC__</div>
There are several communication platforms available to facilitate communication between all of the Localization Lab stakeholders. Please take advantage of the opportunity to engage with other contributors and project owners in the community and keep the following information in mind to ensure we coordinate most efficiently.

=[https://community.internetfreedomfestival.org/community/channels/localization-lab-chat Mattermost]=
Mattermost is a platform where you can casually engage with volunteer contributors, Localization Lab staff, and other project owners. The channel is ideal for questions, community-related announcements, discussion and socializing. The Localization Lab channel is also used to host Q&A sessions and AMA's (Ask Me Anything).

The Localization Lab Mattermost channel and Localization Lab language-focused channels are hosted on the [https://internetfreedomfestival.org/ Team CommUNITY] Mattermost instance and are subject to their [https://www.internetfreedomfestival.org/wiki/index.php/Code_of_Conduct Code of Conduct]. To join Mattermost, follow the instructions on the [https://wiki.digitalrights.community/index.php?title=TCU_Mattermost Team CommUNITY wiki] and indicate that you are joining as a member of the Localization Lab community. Once you have created a Mattermost account, you can join the [https://community.internetfreedomfestival.org/community/channels/localization-lab-chat Localization Lab main channel] and any language team channels.

=[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/otfl10n Mailing List / Google Group]=
The Localization Lab mailing list is ideal for making announcements and asking localization-related questions. There are currently more contributors and active project owners on the mailing list than on Mattermost, so announcements and questions directed at developers will reach a larger audience.

=[https://docs.transifex.com/teams/announcements-and-discussions Transifex]=

==Announcements==
Projects can make announcements on the projects level (only reaching contributors to that project) through Transifex Announcements. 
Make announcements when new strings are added to your project, when new releases are available or when you would like contributor participation in testing. Remember, not all contributors have notifications turned on for updated source strings, so an announcement will increase chances that they see the update.
:'''Note:''' Contributors can reply to announcements, but there is no option to turn on notifications for responses. If you request information from contributors through an announcement, be sure to check back on a regular basis to see if there are new responses.

==Issues & Comments==
Developers should always keep an eye out for new issues and mentions in comments for their projects! You can communicate efficiently about specific source content, context, and translation through comments. Just be sure to always mention the contributor that you are communicating with in the comment or issue so that they are notified of your response.

==Messages==
Individual messages are a great way to connect with contributors who have questions that are not easily answered in a comment or who are not using any of the other Localization Lab communication platforms.

=Social Media=
Localization Lab has [https://twitter.com/L10nLab Twitter] and [https://www.facebook.com/LocalizationLab.org/?modal=admin_todo_tour Facebook] accounts which we use for outreach to a wider community of individuals. We share project updates, needs and community accomplishments through the account.

=Developer Engagement on Platforms=
==Mattermost & Mailing List==
* '''Do''' engage with contributors and developers by asking and answering questions!
::''This is a great way to get to know other project owners and the users and contributors to your tools. It is also motivating for volunteers to have their questions answered quickly by project owners.''
* Please '''do not''' post calls for translation or review without discussing with Localization Lab staff first.
::''Why? The Localization Lab community supports dozens of projects, all with overlapping needs and deadlines. We appreciate if you discuss calls for translation with staff first, so that we can help structure and coordinate them with other localization needs so that all projects get the support that they need.''

==Transifex==
* '''Do''' let Localization Lab staff know if you make important project announcements in Transifex.
::''We keep track of announcement notifications, however just in case, let us know of any big announcements that involve Localization Lab staff coordination or should be cross-posted.''
* '''Do''' check and respond to open issues for your project.
::''Not responding to issues can be a roadblock to finishing translation and review and it can be demoralizing and slow contributor momentum.''

==Social Media==
* '''Do''' follow us on social media.
::''We track the projects that we support on social media to try to amplify their voices and introduce their work to new communities.
* '''Do''' retweet or share any posts we share about yours or related projects to help spread the word.
* '''Do''' tag us in any localization-related outreach or announcements on social media.
::Direct message us if you would like us to retweet something that we have missed.
