Translation Priorities & Resources
Tor Project
The Tor Project project in Transifex contains the resources necessary to localize Tor Browser, Tor 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)
- Torbutton - aboutTBUpdate.dtd (translate)
- Torbutton - about:tor homepage (translate)
- Torbutton - brand.dtd (translate)
- Torbutton - brand.properties (translate)
- Tor button - browseronboardingproperties (translate)
- Tor button - securityLevel.properties (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 Localization Stats

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 - ssl-observatory.dtd
- HTTPS Everywhere - https-everywhere.properties
- Tor Misc - animation-titles.pot
- Tor Misc - tor-and-https.pot
- Tor Misc - ExoneraTor.properties
- TorCheck - TorCheck.pot
- Release_tweets (translate)
- Small phrases to use on Twitter. Help us spread the word about Tor in your language!
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 links section in the tor wiki doc before to see how to translate, and avoid many common errors. Thanks!
- Tor Browser User Manual (translate, preview, stats)
- A great resource for starting to understand privacy and for first-time users of Tor. Translations needed!
- Tor Support Portal (translate, preview, stats)
- FAQ with the basics about what Tor is and how to use it. Translations needed!
