Translate Tor

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

Torbutton - aboutTBUpdate.dtd

Torbutton - about:tor homepage

Torbutton - brand.dtd

Torbutton - brand.properties

Tor button - browseronboardingproperties

Tor button - securityLevel.properties

Torbutton - torbutton.dtd

Torbutton - torbutton.properties

Tor Launcher - network-settings.dtd

Tor Launcher - progress

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 - bridgedb.pot

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

This operating system includes Tor Browser and other privacy-preserving features and apps:

Tails - liveusb-creator.pot

Tails - mat-gui.pot

Tails Misc - tails.pot

Tails - onioncircuits.pot

Tails - openpgp-applet.pot

Tails - tails-greeter-2.pot

Tails - tails-iuk.pot
