Join the Monthly Tor Localization Hangout. Hangouts happen on the Tor L10n channel on OFTC every third Friday from 12:00 UTC onward.

Help us fix typos in the Tor Project translations! You can check to see if there are mark up language errors for your language that need to be fixed here.

Tor Logo “Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.” Website: https://www.torproject.org/

Translate Tor

Getting Started

1. Create a Transifex Account:

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

2. Join the Tor Project and Tor Project Web Translation Team:

3. Download Tor Browser:

Consider downloading Tor Browser for the platforms you are translating This will allow you to get comfortable with the tool and view the original English strings and translations in context. Tor Browser is available to download on “Android”, “Linux”, “macOS” and “Windows”.

4. Start Translating from the #Translation Priorities and Resources:

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

Translation Priorities and Resources

Tor Project

The Tor Project project in Transifex contains the resources necessary to localize Tor Browser, Tor Browser for Android and several other Tor-related services like Tails and HTTPS Everywhere.

To release a localized version of Tor Browser, Mozilla’s Firefox Extended Support Release must first be available. You can contribute to Mozilla Firefox translations through Mozilla’s localization platform Pontoon.

Tor Browser Essentials

These resources are required for a Tor Browser "minimum viable product" release and should be translated first:

Torbutton - aboutDialog.dtd (translate)

This is the button you see if you click Hamburguer menu > Help > About Tor Browser while running Tor Browser.

Torbutton - aboutTBUpdate.dtd (translate)

You get this message when you update your Tor Browser

Torbutton - about:tor homepage (translate)

This is the page you get when you write about:tor on your address bar, and it opens on start.

Torbutton - brand.dtd (translate)

Torbutton - brand.properties (translate)

Tor button - browseronboardingproperties (translate)

Torbutton - torbutton.dtd (translate)

Torbutton - torbutton.properties (translate)

Tor Launcher - network-settings.dtd (translate)

Tor Launcher - properties (translate)

TBA - Tor Browser for Android (translate)

Tor Browser User Manual (translate, preview, stats)

This manual is linked from the Browser. It is important for starting to understand privacy and for first-time users of Tor. Translations needed!

Tor Browser Supplemental

These resources are not absolutely required for a Tor Browser release, but they are highly valuable for maximum Tor Browser usability and publicity:

BridgeDB (translate)

The website at https://bridges.torproject.org

HTTPS Everywhere - https-everywhere.dtd (translate)

Tor Misc - animation-titles.pot (translate)

Tor Misc - tor-and-https.pot (translate)

Tor Misc - ExoneraTor.properties (translate)

TorCheck - TorCheck.pot (translate)

Tor Project Tweets (translate)

Small phrases to use on Twitter. Help us spread the word about Tor in your language!

Tor Policies - Code of Conduct (translate)

Orfox Sunsetting Strings (translate)

Tor Relay Operator Instructions (translate)

SnowflakeAddOn-messages.json (translate)

Tor Project Web

The Tor Project Web project can accept translations from languages that Tor Browser cannot support (due to Mozilla ESR limitations listed above.)

The resources below are listed by priority. Please respect the order of the list and always keep the highest priority translations updated before starting a translation further down the list.

Please read the markdown section in the tor wiki doc before translating, to avoid many common errors. Thanks!

Tor Support Portal (translate, preview, stats)

FAQ with the basics about what Tor is and how to use it. Translations needed!

Tor Project Animation (translate)

Subtitles for the "How Tor Protects Your Privacy" video.

Tor Project Homepage (translate, preview)

Tor Community Portal (translate, preview)

Tor Project Outreach Materials (translate)

Collection of Tor user stories and how-to information for community outreach.

Tor Project Donate Page (translate)

Tor Project donations page.

Miscellaneous Content

Tails

This operating system includes Tor Browser and other privacy-preserving features and apps. It is based on Debian and offers many locales translated on Debian. But Tails in itself has a series of interfaces and messages to translate too.

Resources in the Tor Project on Transifex

Tails Installer - the application to install Tails USB sticks (translate)

Tails - MAT (Metadata Anonimization Toolkit) client (translate)

Tails GUI - tails.pot (translate)

Tails - onioncircuits.pot (translate)

Tails - whisperback.pot (translate)

Tails - openpgp-applet.pot (translate)

The Tails website can be translated, see here for their experimental translation interface and here for their translation introduction

TorBirdy

This is an extension to use Thunderbird through the Tor network, and other privacy features.

TorBirdy - torbirdy.dtd (translate)

TorBirdy - torbirdy.properties (translate)

Exonerator

This is a website that lets anyone check if a particular IP address was Tor relay.

Tor Misc - ExoneraTor.properties (translate)
