Welcome to Localization Lab Wiki

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.
