Haven't created a Transifex account yet? Create one here.

2. Join the Mailvelope Translation Team

3. Download Mailvelope:

It is important to get comfortable with Mailvelope and view the original English strings in context before translating! Mailvelope is available to download for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

4. Review the #Translation Guidelines:

Make sure you are familiar with the Translation Guidelines before you begin translating. They contain important information like whether or not to translate or transliterate the project name.

5. Start Translating from the #Translation Priorities & Resources:

The list of resources and translation priorities will help you decide which content to work on first in the Mailvelope project. Some resources are more important to work on than others. Dedicate your time to the resources that will make the most impact for users first.

Translation Guidelines

Do not translate "Mailvelope."

Do not translate or transliterate "Mailvelope". If you feel speakers of your language would benefit from a transliteration of the project name, please place it in parentheses after the original name.

Example: Psiphon (سايفون)

Be aware of placeholders.

Many Mailvelope strings contain placeholders which may replace HTML or XML tags or variables. It is important to retain those tags in the translation. You can move the placeholders depending on where they grammatically make the most sense in your language.

Variables in Transifex

Review the Transifex documentation to learn how to manage placeholders in the translation editor.
